Tigers keep Pilibhit villagers at bay from polling booths
The Free Press Journal|April 18, 2024
When the tiger roars, voters quake. The Pilibhit Tiger Reserve authorities have been unable to restrain its growing tiger population and this has become a source of man-animal conflict in the district that goes to polls on April 19.
Tigers keep Pilibhit villagers at bay from polling booths

At peril are those who live in the perimeter of the tiger reserve. It is not uncommon for tigers to stray out of the forest area into the adjoining agricultural fields and confrontation with humans is inevitable. For instance on April 8, a tiger killed farmer Bholeram near Puraini Deep Nagar village while he was working in his fields. Angry villagers demanded protection and compensation for the bereaved family.

The following day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in the Puranpur area, pitching for BJP candidate Jitin Prasada. He expressed his intentions to showcase the splendour of the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve to the world. However, this declaration failed to resonate with the family members of Bhole Ram and other villagers, gripped by fear of another attack by the big cat.
