Two wildlife smuggling networks busted, says official
A joint team of the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau and the Odisha Forest and Environment has seized nine leopard and tiger skins and arrested seven persons. The intensive search in Kalahandi and Nuapada districts in the past two days has led to the seizure. In Kalahandi, which shares border with Chhattisgarh, there are two divisions.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
