Foresters Intensify Vigil in NSTR After Jaw-Trap Discovery
Foresters in Andhra Pradesh found a dangerous trap called a jaw-trap in a forest area called Nagarjunasagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve.
This trap was meant to catch big animals like tigers or leopards.
The foresters quickly removed the trap before any animal could get hurt.
Now, they are working extra hard to find more traps and catch the people who put them there.
They are checking the forest during the day and night to keep the animals safe.
The foresters think that local people might be involved in setting these traps.
They are using special dogs to help find more traps and are trying to find out where the traps came from.
Foresters in NSTR discovered and removed a jaw-trap aimed at carnivores in the Nagaluty range.
Anti-snare drive intensified across the entire NSTR as a precautionary measure.
Preliminary inquiry suggests possible involvement of locals in setting the trap.
Dog squad deployed to check for additional traps, and intelligence gathering is underway.
Foresters are patrolling during morning, evening, and night to prevent poaching.
