Water search brings wild animals to village homes
Haridwar, May 29 In Bhagwanpur area, residents are living in fear of a leopard that entered the house of a resident of Kheldi village this week. The beast looking for water proceeded towards the village water resource and strayed into the house of Zaffar Ali. The house inmates were terrified. Zaffar Ali was quick enough to trap the leopard inside the room, bolting the door from outside. The panicky villagers then rushed to inform forest department officials and the police. After much hard work, the rescue team was successful in luring the leopard into an iron cage without using tranquilisers. Hardiwar forest range DFO Naresh Kumar described the operation as “quite risky” considering the leopard could have attacked the rescuers as the option of tranquilizers couldn’t be used due to non-availability of a doctor. Last week too in Mazri village a leopard was spotted by the locals. Yesterday a leopard entered the busy BHEL area on the Tibdi-Sureshwari road. It stand still on the road blocking traffic with commuters fleeing the spot. The honking vehicles seemed to have little impact on the leopard but after some time, he retreated to the near by forest as the people heaved a sigh of relief. This is not all. In Pathri area, a four-year-old cub was killed while trying to cross the road when it collided with avehicle. Passersby saw the body and informed the forest officials. Instances of elephants intruding into human settlements while looking for water and raiding crops are also on the rise in Bhagwanpur, Missirpur and Katarpur villages. In Rishikesh there have been instances of tuskers intruding into the Shyampur area, destroying crops and houses while on their way to nearby water resources. Notably rapid urbanisation has had a lot to do with the increase in these incidents. Experts say areas where huge projects have come up in Haridwar district where once the abode of wild animals. Chila forest ranger MS Negi says the movement of animals is only natural in the season. He, however, blames shrinking forest cover, growing number of colonies adjacent to the park and forest area and growing number of vehicles on roads in the forest circle for the incidents. Experts point towards rapid industrialisation and colonisation near the forest area hindering wild life movement. “Wild animals have a distinct nature and whether it’s BHEL residential colonies on the outskirts of the Rajaji National Park or the Haridwar forest division, a few decades back these were dense jungles and the abode of animals. So it’s natural that the animals retreat into that circle, but human intervention means a constant face off with the animals,” said forest
scientist Dr Ritesh Joshi. The animals are straying into residential areas due to anthropogenic reasons too. With most residential areas situated near water resources, human-animal conflict is seenas inevitable. Environmentalists say animals intruding into human settlements in search of water point to the dwindling water sources in forest areas.

Kumbh mela officer reviews preparations
Haridwar, May 29 Vardhan, the sole incharge of the Kumbh mela, is strictly reviewing and monitoring the progress of the mela-related works. The Public Works Department, which is carrying on major projects, have given an assurance of timely completion of all projects to the mela officer by increasing its staff and resources. The Electricity Department officers assured that the works in Haridwar, Rishikesh and Muni-ki-Reti would be completed by this month-end. The Ganga Pollution Control Board also got flak from the mela officer and have assured time-bound completion of mela-related works. Anand Vardhan has advised officers of various departments to work jointly so that work gets completed on time. Lack of coordination between various departments was evident when the roads in the city were dug up twice - first for laying sewers and now by other departments. The departments contributing to the Kumbh Mela preparations are the Public Works Department, Irrigation Department, Ganga Pollution Control Board, Water Corporation, Power Corporation, Health Department and municipal committees.
