Reportedly, Shafat said that it is for the first time that a hang glider is being used in an operation like this. The tigress is apparently protecting her babies and hence, is hiding in a safe place. Mishra further added that the glider will help in providing a bird’s eye view of the territory and can be a useful addition. It will be making sorties from Thursday as part of the search operation.” Principal Chief Conservator of Forest ( Wildlife) A K Mishra told Indian Express, “Our shooter Shafat Ali Khan has got it from Delhi. The Indian Express reported that the glider arrived at the base camp on Tuesday and a test flight was also conducted near Anji village on the following day. The tigress has a lot of space in which she can move hence, making it difficult for the forest officials to find her. In a recent development, a powered hang glider has been commissioned to locate the tigress which occupies between 18 and 120 square kilometres of the forest. While numerous discrepancies in the study of this case have left the activists and public agitated, the government remains unfazed by the repeated calls for reconsideration.Īpart from hiring the infamous private hunter, Nawab Shafat Ali Khan who is known to have taken the lives of hundreds of animals, advanced equipment and thermal drones have also been put in place. The administration has already sent a pack of large elephants, horses as well as Italian breed dogs inside the territory to shoot the tigress on sight.
The Maharashtra government seems to leave no stone unturned in their attempt to find a five-year-old tigress, ‘Avni’, labeled as a ‘man-eater’ and ‘killer’ behind 13 human bodies. A team of around 150 forest officials is on the lookout for the T1 female tiger, also a mother of two cubs, in the Pandharkawda forest, Ralegaon in Maharashtra.
