Compensation to be provided from State Disaster Response Fund & fund of forest dept
THE state government has revised the guidelines for giving compensation to kin of human-wildlife conflicts from the State Disaster Response Fund and the own fund of the forest department. This follows the government's declaration of man-animal conflicts as state specific disaster.
As per the new guidelines, the kin of people dying in wild animal attacks, including outside forest area, will receive a total of ₹10 lakh as compensation — ₹4 lakh from the SDRF and ₹6 lakh from the forest department.
