Nagpur: Even after two months, Chandrapur forest officials failed to capture the five-year-old Tigress who moved in the Salori forest from the range of Warora with a snare wire stuck in his neck.
The picture shows big cats have suffered injuries in the neck and in trouble.
Also worried that tigers are pregnant.
“It is possible that tigers may be pregnant, but our priority is to catch animals and treat it before releasing it wildly,” said NR Praveen, Head of Forest Conservator (CCF), Chandrapur.
Tiger with wire snare was first seen on May 23.
It was almost two months, both Tigress tigers had been arrested, or every person accused had been subdued to put the wire snare.
Tigress moves in Waror and side by side with the range of Bhadravati.
The source said the snare, regular practice by the locals to seize Herbivores for Bushmeat, allegedly placed by residents of Palasgaon Village (Shingru), which was transferred at Land Jungle Zudpi near Salori two years ago.
In April 2019, several villagers from Palasgaon (Shingru) were held due to the death of a Tigress who was caught in a steel wire trap at Khatoda in Tadoba.
During that period, the village was in the process of moving.
“Now, it looks like, the same hunting trick is used to kill wild animals here,” said the source.
Praveen acknowledges that there are three tigers, leopards, and other wild animal species in the Salori forest, adjacent to the Tadoba buffer zone.
“Our team tries hard to catch tigers.
In addition, forest cover has grown solid due to rain, making our duties difficult.
The day before our team was sitting in Machan waiting for the tiger to come to the bait that had been killed, but the animal appeared after 18:30 , a few minutes after the team went to wait all day, “CCF said.
Praveen added, “We have recorded Tigress images on camera traps, but dodge humans.
Maybe, we crammed before by exerting too many people to capture tigers, causing a commotion.
Now, we have limited the numbers to two small rescue teams including trackers , sniper, and veterinarians wildlife.
We hope to capture animals soon.
Even when it rains, the arrest operation continues.
“More Vishal, President of the All People’s Admire Society (what), an NGO from Warora who worked to save wildlife, accused Warora RFO Madhukar Rathod disrupts the entire operation by not acting in time.
There was no effort taken to arrest the perpetrators who put the wire trap, he said.
Rathod is not available for comments.
“There is a lack of coordination between RFOs and staff underneath, which has created chaos.
Who stops the forest team to capture Tigress in May and June when there is no rain and visibility is clear.
A lot of time wasted because of the approach to the aceful forest staff.
Now, wounds The neck of the Tigress has deteriorated and clearly visible, “more said.
