Uttarakhand forest minister Harak Singh Rawat on Friday said there were no plans to rename the iconic Corbett National Park — named after naturalist Jim Corbett — as Ramganga National Park.

“Corbett’s name will not change. The park is named after a legendary hunter-turned-conservationist. Why should we change it when the park has already established its identity all over the world with this name?” said the forest minister.
