| December 8, 2009 | Forest officials rescue trapped deer in Jalpaiguri | | Jalpaiguri (West Bengal): Forest officials rescued a deer that got trapped in bamboo vegetation in West Bengal's Jalpaiguri town on Tuesday. The deer, locally called 'Sambar' had strayed
towards human habitation after being chased by a tiger and got trapped in the
thick bamboo growth. Some villagers had noticed the stuck animal, who later informed
the forest officials. Mohammed Nasim, a villager, said: "The animal is trapped
in a bamboo vegetation. It cannot go back to the forest. We have called the forest
officials. They have come and are trying to rescue it and leave it in the forest."
There have been many instances of animals straying into human habitats in Jalpaiguri,
as the tea estates act as interface to the forests. Many a times, the animals
succumb to injuries after being attacked by irate villagers. | |
