Residents have been touring the hills for hiking purposes and will now not be able to do so following this ban from the MCA.
"The hills are very steep and dangerous. Residents hiking the area are risking their lives. I have completely banned the visiting of the place by residents," said Kamitu.
Kamitu has claimed that the area will first be upgraded where later it will be used as a tourist attraction site.
Syanthi hills has been in existence in the past 40 years now but according to Kamitu, the rains have made the hills Steep making it dangerous.
The ban will be effective from tomorrow and people who will be caught hiking in the place will risk arrests or a fine.
