A landmark step towards Viksit Bharat, Viksit Odisha!

Similipal is now officially a National Park — the 107th in India and the largest in #Odisha at 845.70 sq km.

Arrested 2 persons with a seizure of 5 guns. Kudos to my team..

[Dr.Samrat Gowda IFS @IfsSamrat]

Few years back it was a dream to sight tigers in Similipal but now tourists are sighting very frequently and clicking beautiful photos. This revival is a result of hard work and sacrifice made by our team. Proud of my team Similipal.

A long journey of 900kms but it hardly took anytime for ‘Jamuna’ , the tigress brought from TATR to find its foot.
For enhancing the genetic diversity of the Simlipal Tigers, it is anticipated to play a key role. It’s doing fine in its soft enclosure.

Lakhimpur, Uttar Pradesh: DFO South Kheri Sanjay Biswal says, "We received information two days ago that a calf had been killed in Gulripurwa village. So, we set up a cage in the area around the village yesterday morning, and as a result, we successfully rescued a leopard last evening. We hope that this rescue will reduce the fear of the leopard in the area, but our operation around Indira Park will continue as planned. We will keep monitoring the situation and maintain our current approach. I also urge everyone to remain cautious. We have checked the physical condition of the rescued leopard with a doctor, and it is completely fine. We will be taking it to the forest shortly"

Thank you sir

[Susanta Nanda IFS (Retd) @susantananda3]

Extremely proud of team Simlipal😌
Remotely placed AI cameras captured the images of poachers entering into Simlipal. All were arrested & four country made guns were seized. Time for persons still engaged in such adventurism to stay clear of the protected areas.
