"“Can you guess what was sighted in Kanha zone today?

In what has come to light, one of the senior members of this group , Mr. Chandrabhal Singh, was waiting in route no. 9 in the heart of core zone of Kanha.
At around 9 AM he heard hustle from the bushes. Taking it to be mahouts , they remained quiet till it got clear.
Not being aware of the presence of tourist vehicle , some guys emerged on the safari track. They got startled to see the vehicle. There were 7 of them, armed with sharp weapons , each carrying a bag. As Mr Chandrabhal shouted “ pakdo “ (catch them ) , they started running , vanishing into the woods.
It’s obvious that these guys wouldn’t enter the heart of the park for deer and boar which can be found easily in the territorial forest. What were they in for, is anybody’s guess.
The questions that this incident gives rise to, are :

- How did the poachers reach the core of the forest without being noticed
- Mr Chandrabhal has not seen a single patroling vehicle or squad in last 12 days , is it just coincidence ?
- The spot was just 3 KMs from range office .
- Is Chhota Munna victim of the poaching gang?

Mr Chandrabhal immediately reported the matter to the authorities, we would love to see some action happening else within no time “the best managed park” tag will be lost forever"


This is bad news if true

There are sniffer-dogs operating in Kanha now, once detected they should be tracked & apprehended soon enough. Reply
