PCCF Alok Kumar sanctioned 6 lakhs in advance to buy drones by accepting the proposal. After receiving amount, dept formed a committee to spend money on Drone management.

Along with Tigers, all animals (Remember cheetah? ) will also be under strict vigilance and security in Nauradehi 

Nauradehi is spread over 1197 km2 area in 3 districts namely, Sagar, Damoh and Narasimhapur. The two tiger brought from Bandhavgarh and Kanha-Kisli tiger reserves to Nauradehi will be protected along with other wild animals.

That is in 6 divisions of Nauradehi WLS along with Tiger, Sloth bear, Chital, Sambar, Wild hare, Nilgai, Jackal, Leopard and Hyena and various other animals are living here. This a new advanced and strong strategy initiative by FD to protect and increase wildlife for Conservation of nature besides TSF (Tiger Strike Force) and Anti-Poaching squads in Nauradehi.

2 Drone cameras will be bought first
Dept asked for 4 drones but going to buy 2 in advance. 1 drone costs 2.5 to 3 lakhs. It is the dept's decision to buy 2.5 lakh or 3 lakh drones as more latter gets more quality and range vigilance cover can be easily upto 4-5 km and the difference will be in Drone cam's battery quality and capacity to adjust voltage for better performance in recording or shooting the tape and visuals of landscape to analyze, manage and monitor the situation.

About Dog Squads in Nauradehi:

The responsibility of protecting not only tigers but also other animals and precious teak from the poachers and smugglers is on the shoulders of the forest department. 

Regrettably, what will happen if gardeners only destroy the farm? The same happened in Nauradehi in the last few days when tendukheda and Taradehi area of Tindani and Sarra forest's teak was consumed in large quantities by rangers and subordinated forest administration.

It is probed by Tiger Strike Force. Now the department has trusted a dog to protect the wildlife from hunters and teak smugglers. Belgian Shepherd Dog is now a new guest of Nauradehi. This clever-agile dog is not only expert in evading evidence, but also has potential to teach a good lesson to smugglers and tear off chunks from hunters.

Helped in solving two cases
Belgian Shepherd Dog has helped the department in solving two cases related to teak harvesting while stepping into Nauradehi. He searched for used wood cutting tools in above case of smuggling and found pieces of meat/blood/flesh of hunted wild animals when poached. Nauradehi DFO Dr. Ankur Awadhiya is very happy in getting this dog.

He told that the dog will roam in the range and it will be sent there for any special investigation. Dr. Awadhiya says that the department staff is in charge of allegations in Teak harvesting in Nauradehi. Some of these have been penalized too. This dog will satisfy the Dog Department's expectations in curbing the teak cutting and protecting wildlife.

Same in panna, kanha and Pench
Before Naurdehi, Belgium Shepherd is there in Panna- 3, Kanha-1 and Pench Tiger Reserve- 1 which are protecting wildlife. The price of the dog is more than 80 thousand rupees. It specializes in Sniffing, Vehicle Searching, running and tracking. Reply
