Sir,
Refer news item “Sambhar Stag found dead” D.E 16 Feb. 2013.
This is not for the first time such incident has happened in our tehsil. A few months earlier on Dec 31, 2012, another Sambhar Stag was also hunted and then too Wildlife Department remained a silent spectator. It was first found injured by the people of the locality, but there was no one of the Wildlife department to look after it as a result it didn’t survive. For the entire day none other than the local villagers looked after it. As far as general public is concerned, it does not even know whether this Wildlife Department has its office located at our tehsil and who are the employees to be reported and informed. The bullets which were used for hunting are of special type and only few people in our tehsil hold licences for them. There are several paths that lead to the solution but it seems that this department is also infected with the viral of corruption, as their officials tend to do nothing other than completing formalities.
It is hereby requested to the State Wildlife Authorities to kindly take notice of this matter and punish the culprits as a stern action is needed, so that the wildlife may feel secure and prosper in a calm surrounding.
Yours etc….
