Title: Need to take remedial measures to protect the disappearing tigers from Reserve Forests. Laid.
SHRI BALASAHEB VIKHE PATIL (KOPERGAON): The attention of the Government is drawn towards the news item under the heading Fix responsibility for tigers disappearance published in the daily Tribune dated 4th March, 2005. Government should take remedial action to protect the tiger and its habitat and preventing further disappearance in the Sariska (Rajasthan). I also want to know whether any such disappearance been reported from other part of the country and whether any enquiry is being conducted for disappearance of tigers from Sariska? A number of tigers are moving freely in rural Maharashtra. The authorities and Forest Department are fully aware of this. The matter should be investigated. There are number of causalities including children and cattle causing concern.
I request the Union Government to look into the matter.
