Poaching incidents and forest animals coming out of
the forests in search of drinking water are being reported these days as summer
is fast approaching in the Adilabad district of Telangana.
Poachers are targeting the forest animals entering
into the fringes of the villages in search of water.
Drinking water sources in
the forests are gradually drying up and this resulted in forest animals coming
out of the forests in search of drinking water.
It is common practice for the poachers that they set
up live electric wires and also nets near water bodies targeting the animals
which were landed up in the traps or were electrocuted or killed by poachers.
‘Forest officials arrested three persons who killed Sambar
in the Dharmaraopet forests in Kasipet mandal on January15. Villagers of the
Dharmaraopet chased the Sambar which came out of the nearby forests in search
of drinking water and was killed.
On the other hand, a Bison came out of forests and
entered into the agriculture fields in Tandur mandal headquarters two days ago.
The villagers informed the forest officials who successfully drove the animal
into the forests close to Dwaraka Kasipet.
The lifting of sand from the rivulets and streams
located in the forests is also contributing to dipping of the capacity of water
recharge of streams and rivulets.
