[Guest guest]

Reference from Times of India, Nov 19, 2006

Its really sad, that Animals are suffering due to govt. staff of

forest department strike in Uttaranchal, strike by forest staff has

hit wildlife most as witnessed in Malsi Deer Park in Dehra Dun vally,

where they are on verge of starvation due to erratic supply of food

for them has become erratic. Situation is quite explosive already.

The forest department should worry about the animals.

According to forest department sources in Nainital, the Mahasangh has

decided to step up its agitation outside the gates of all wildlife

zones like Dhikala, Dhngari, Jhirna and Dhangari at Corbett National

Park in Ramnagar tehsil of Nainital district. Situation is going to

be very critical.
