Lack of animal rescue centre hinders wildlife control operations

There have been incidents where captured wild animals have died due to the absence of a skilled rescue team and a proper infirmary in Kanchanpur.

Forty-two years old Ganga Devi Chand of Panchauri in Belauri Municipality was fatally attacked by a tiger 14 km from Shuklaphanta National Park last Friday. Park officials could not conduct immediate rescue since the tiger was still around. The national park officials had to wait for a technical team from the Bardiya National Park to arrive to capture the tiger.
