Rajkot: Three sub-adult lions, which hummed in the villages of Gondal Taluka for the last 25 days, were suddenly arrested by the Ministry of Forestry and brought back to Sasan, on Wednesday night.
Forest officials, who previously said they would be sensitive to villagers about the behavior of lions which were expected to make a permanent home here, quoting complaints by locals to capture lions.
Wildlife experts argue that graying lions into new areas and natural processes should not be hampered.
On Wednesday night, the cage was put into Gondal Village and the three lions were arrested.
Head of Forest Conservator (Wildlife), DT Vasavda, said, “There were complaints from villagers and we also discussed with local staff before making a decision to save them.
These lions will be released back in wild processes after maturity.” According to the source, according to the source, Farmers will be afraid to go to their fields, especially during the winter today to water their fields, because of the presence of lions around it.
Livestock loss is also a matter of worries even though the Ministry of Forestry accelerates the compensation process.
Bhushan Pandya, Gujarat State Council member for Wildlife said, “Gondal is a new area and people are not familiar with the wildlife movement.
If the lion goes very close to human habitat, the Ministry of Forestry needs to intervene because they cannot wait for human conflicts.” Lion Has come to the Rajkot district for the past three years and this is the third time the lion has been captured and brought back to the holy area.
