Farmers and citizens in rural areas are frequently associated with wild animals and wildlife through achanak or livestock protection and other relationships.
It has been pointed out from hundreds of incidents that farmers and citizens come into contact with wild animals suddenly or in the case of protection of agricultural property, which leads to loss of life and loss of life.
Ideally, many farmers have been killed by tigers, wild boars while protecting their crops and it is also a fact that other wild animals have caused minor, moderate or minor damage to their crops.
Financial assistance is provided by the Maharashtra government in case of loss of life of humans and domestic animals in a tiger attack. However, the financial assistance received by the heirs after the death of human beings is kept under many oppressive conditions from the government level. Maharashtra government is turning a blind eye.
If the heirs are not able to allocate the financial funds under the aid on the occasion of need, then the rules of the government have to be considered as binding on the heirs.
“The name is big and the vision is false, such a mind is prevalent in the state of Maharashtra. Government policies smell like this money. However, there is no beneficial aroma in this smell. The government needs to realize that the heirs are scum under the hood.
Along with this, wildlife animals consistently cause severe, moderate, and general damage to crops in the forest areas or nearby farmers’ fields.
Panchnama of the damaged crops in the farmers’ fields is done by the respective foresters and forest guards of the forest department. But if the crop is damaged for one lakh rupees, they are paid only 10 thousand rupees by the forest department. And that too is not paid on time.
Whether the concerned administrative officers and employees of the forest department are responsible or the Maharashtra forest ministry is responsible for the strange procedure of compensation of agricultural property is not yet clear.
There is no way to know how the forest minister or the responsible secretary and other officials of the forest ministry are lax when it is highlighted that the financial assistance given to the farmers under the crop loss is exploiting and exploiting them.
Ideally, will the Forest Minister of Maharashtra State abolish the oppressive conditions under the financial assistance given to the heirs who lose their lives in wild animal attacks? This burning question is introspective.
Along with this, the long time required to settle the violent wild animals from the government-administrative level is beyond comprehension.
Are we to assume that due to the procrastination policy of the government, the time taken to deal with the predatory wildlife is also oppressive and unfair to the citizens?
