Register criminal cases against Raj forest officials:

PFA:

[india News]: Jaipur, Mar 15 : People for Animals

(PFA), a voluntary body headed by former Union

Minister Maneka Gandhi, today alleged that the

Rajasthan forest officials were " conniving " in

poaching of tigers in Sariska and Ranthambhore

reserves and demanded registration of criminal cases

against them.

They also demanded sacking of Forest Minister and

Chief Wildlife Warden for their negligence.

Because forest officials were " conniving " in poaching

of big cats they continued to show high number of

tigers on paper perpituating a " fraud " , PFA state

Chief Babu Lal Jaju alleged and demanded registering

of criminal cases against them.

Despite spending 125 crore on Project Tiger, big cat

had completely vanished from Sarishka and their number

fell precariously low in Ranthambhore. Therefore, the

money spent on the project should be recovered from

the personal properties of the erring officials, Jaju

demanded.

Both the Rajasthan Forest Minister and the Wildlife

warden have shown gross negligence in performing their

duties and they should be sacked immediately, he said.

Disapproving the style of working of the task force,

constituted by the state government for recommending

measures to save tigers, Jaju said the committee

cannot do justice to the task assigned to it because

the people responsible for poaching of tigers had been

included in it. PTI
