After the recent confesson by NTCA member secretary Rajesh Gopal during a meet in Sariska about the critical condition of many sanctuaries across the country owing to maoist trouble or other secutiry related problems a report in Telegraph cites NTCA teams visiting reserves across Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand & orissa. It may be noted that maoist trouble across the so called Red Corridor has virtually made it impossible for any census to be carried out across wide swathes of forest areas in these some of these states. Recently an NTCA team was also despatched to Similipal in Orissa to take stock of the situation there after it emerged that maoists and timber mafia had taken over the park and wildlife poaching was being carried out nside the sanctuary on a large scale.
