UP, U`khand haven`t got tiger forces in place yet
Hindustan Times
Dehradun
4 May 2012
The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) will take action against Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan for delaying the formation of Special Tiger Protection Force (STPF) in their respective states. "It`s the responsibility of state forest department to form this force for tiger conservation," said Dr Rajesh Gopal, Member secretary, NTCA without specifying what action would be taken. Karnataka is the only state to have formed the STPF. Jayanthi Natarajan, Union minister of forest and environment, in a meeting with field directors over Project Tiger in Delhi on Wednesday, expressed displeasure over the non formation of the force that intends to deploy additional staff for tiger conservation. A total of 108 people divided into 3 platoons` are to be appointed under the project dedicated to tiger conservation. An additional conservator of forest will head each platoon. Eighteen foresters and 90 forest guards are also to be appointed.
