MoS Jaiswal Reviews Rising Tiger Movement and Attack Incidents in Pench Minister of State Ashish Jaiswal directed authorities to take immediate action against the rising incidents of tiger movement and attacks in the Pench region during a review meeting held in Sillari, Ramtek. The meeting, chaired by Jaiswal, emphasized the urgent need to enhance protective measures for communities living near forest areas. He instructed officials to install protective fencing in vulnerable zones and develop green zones where necessary to mitigate human-wildlife conflict. Jaiswal also ordered the deployment of dedicated mobile and medical units to ensure rapid response to emergencies, including tiger attacks. The minister highlighted the importance of a high-level meeting with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to finalize comprehensive strategies for addressing the growing threat posed by tigers. This meeting is expected to focus on long-term solutions to balance conservation efforts with the safety of local residents. Jaiswal assured the public that their safety remains a top priority, promising swift implementation of protective measures. To aid in monitoring and reporting incidents, he announced the launch of a toll-free helpline for residents to report tiger sightings or attacks and seek assistance. AI-enabled cameras have already been installed in select villages, and officials were directed to expand this network to cover more areas. The technology is intended to track tiger movements and provide real-time data to authorities. Jaiswal also emphasized the need for improved coordination between forest departments and local communities to prevent conflicts.#chief_minister #devendra_fadnavis #ashish_jaiswal #minister_of_state #forest_development_corporation_of_maharashtra
