“Our patrol party got the whiff of killing of the animals and gave a chase to the poachers who left behind the meat and two bi-cycles while fleeing under cover of the thick forest. The poachers cut the deer into pieces inside the jungle after killing the same, but could not take it out. It was not yet known whether the deer were shot dead or killed by any other means” the Range Officer informed over phone.

The Field Director of the MNP informed that Kuklung  Range is part of the 350 square kilometer added to the National Park last year. He said there was shortage of adequate field staff to protect the  new range.

“We have written to the government to form a new division comprising Kuklung Range to facilitate better monitoring and protection. It will take some time,” he informed.
