Damoh district's Nauradehi can get the approval of the National Park, for which the officers are preparing. For this displacement of dozens of villages of Tendukheda Development block will be done.

In fact, Nauradehi is distributed ans spread in three districts and three times bigger than the Panna Tiger Reserve. With the construction of a big dam in Panna, a large area of Panna Tiger Reserve will be "drowned".

Hence, the wild animals of that danger prone area which is expected to be drowned, will be shifted here to Nauradehi. So, quickly the displacement of the village and the survey work started shortly thereafter and the report will be sent to Delhi. Right now, the work of installing CCTV cameras and traps is going on for the calculation or census of wild animals.

Quote:Although the officials are saying that it may take "several years" to become a National Park.

First to arrive are Tiger-Tigress (Radha - Kishan duo or pair) which has already arrived

After Panna, the second National Park in Bundelkhand Zone can be the Nauradehi Sanctuary !!!

For which long preparations are being made by the Forest Department. In the matter of conservation of tigers, eight months ago, tiger-tigress were brought, which are now roaming together. The prey animals have also been left here for their tiger prey base, so that they can create a complete atmosphere for themselves. Before that many villages of Tendukheda have been displaced which have come under the boundary limits of the Nauradehi Sanctuary.

Team from Dehradun
Various surveys are being conducted for the expansion of the Nauradehi Sanctuary. For this, a few days ago, the team has come from Dehradun, which has done surveys of the beats under the enclosure and have installed CCTV cameras there. From which it can be ascertained what wild animals are there in WLS as well as that of the area that is adaptable to the creature. For this, the team has also laid in the Tendukheda, Taradehi, Jhaloun range beats with and work has also been completed and monitoring of wildlife has started in all beats.

A large part of the Panna Tiger Reserve will come in the sunken area
Giving information, Ankur Awadhiya, DFO, Nauradehi Sanctuary, said that a big dam will be built on Betwa Pariyona under the Joint Campaign in Panna. This will bring a large part of the Panna Tiger Reserve to the submerged area. Therefore, the wild animals here have to shift somewhere. For this, the plan made is to expand the Nauradehi Sanctuary to National Park. Earlier, a tiger from Panna Tiger Reserve reached Nauradahi Sanctuary by getting into Damoh and after staying for one and a half months in Nauradehi he went back to Panna Tiger in the same way from where he travelled.

Quote:Now the survey is being done in that corridor passage which that tiger used. By developing  that corridor to healthy one and the Nauradehi Sanctuary and Panna can be one and the wild animals enter Nauradehi through the same path and become connected. They said that they are working in the core, buffer and corridor areas.

These villages will be displacement
In order to make the National Park to the Nauradehi Sanctuary, more than "two dozen" villages of Tedukheda Development block will be included in it and the displacement of these villages will be done. According to the information from the sources, the survey for the displacement of villages, which is to be done, is Khakharia, Dhangor, Darauli, Taraadehi, Bagdari etc. It is being speculated that all the villages coming under the Taradehi Sector can go out of the Nauradehi Sanctuary. Many villages coming under Sarra Range are already coming under the Nairadehi Sanctuary so they will be shifted out. Now in this new survey it will be decided which village will be displaced.


Nauradehi Sanctuary is three times bigger
Nauradehi DFO Ankur Ravidhia said that Panna Tiger Reserve is in the 400 square km area and Nauradehi is three times bigger than Panna that is 1187 sq km. This sanctuary belongs to the Sagar, Damoh and Narsinghpur districts, which can be estimated that the forest here will be increased.

They said that they are giving information to the villagers that if the National Park is built there, then the resources will be created and the employment will also be available to the people. With the formation of National Park, tourists from here, from abroad, will visit to see tigers and other wild animals. This will remove the unemployment from this region to a large extent. He said that this work will take many years as the work on it will start only after approval from Delhi.

Quote:"The Deputy Sub forest Divisional Officer MK Khare told that many villages of Tedukheda development block will be able to shifted out of the Nauradehi Sanctuary to declare as National Park. For this, the further action will be taken after the survey."
