Baran in the assembly:Shergarh Sanctuary is less in area, so additional forest land will be included, only after that action will be taken to settle cheetah

Baran-Atru MLA Panachand Meghwal raised a matter in the House regarding the slow pace of various wildlife projects of Hadoti. MLA Meghwal asked the government the reason for the delay in developing the Ramgarh Poisoned Sanctuary as tourism by settling tigers. Along with this demanded the settlement of Cheetah in Shergarh of Baran. He demanded from the government to take administrative control of Shergarh Sanctuary in Baran. On which the Forest Minister said that under the provisions of Section 38 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 on behalf of the National Tiger Conservation Authority, Ministry of Forest and Climate Change, Government of India, New Delhi, on July 5, 2021, Ramgarh Vishdhari Wildlife Sanctuary and adjacent areas will be declared Tiger Reserve. In-principle approval has been given to make.

Under this, an expert committee was constituted by the state government to determine the critical tiger habitat (core) and buffer area of Ramgarh Vishdhari Tiger Reserve. The report for determination of core (CTH) and buffer area of Ramgarh Vishdhari Tiger Reserve Bundi has been submitted to the state government on January 24. After examining the report of the committee, soon further action is being taken by the state government under the provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. The minister said that panthers are found naturally in Shergarh Wildlife Sanctuary. 

There is currently no plan to shift tigers and cheetahs here. Rather, the scientists of Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun had made a preliminary observation of Shergarh Wildlife Sanctuary with a view to take stock of the possibilities of release of Cheetah in Wildlife Sanctuary Shergarh. Thereafter the report is prepared and submitted. Due to the small area of Shergarh sanctuary in the report, this sanctuary can be suitable for making 3-4 units of cheetah only after including the adjoining additional forest area, fencing all around, displacing village Surpa outside etc. Is. Action is being taken regarding this, in this regard, NTCA has been informed through a letter issued on December 7 that in the first phase, action is being taken to settle cheetah in Madhya Pradesh. In respect of other places, action will be taken at a later stage.
