The residents of Madi have come up with a way to avoid this after the electric fence that protects the crops and the locals from the wild animals rhinoceros, wild elephants and herds of antelopes has become a deadly trap for people.

 

Madi Municipality-8 Ayodhyapuri Upper Shivdwar village is in the forest of Chitwan Park. 65-year-old Rup Bahadur Shahi of this village has to reach home no matter where he is in the afternoon.

In order to prevent wild animals from entering the village at night, the local intermediate consumer committee has made an electric fence powered by solar energy . If the animal that has made a fence to enter the village touches the wire, it gets a shock . Because of this, wild animals do not dare to cross the wire . The machine that sends controlled current to the wire is in Shahi's house. So when the evening is about to fall, he starts the machine .

But now it's not just by sending current to the machine . Siren has to be sounded for 5/7 minutes before leaving the current . The normal current of solar energy would only shock the animals and the animals would run away . Shivji Gaik, Chairman of Ayodhyapuri Intermediate Consumer Committee of Chitwan National Park, said that after one person died after falling into the fence in October last year, sirens were sounded to alert the locals.

28-year-old Subedi Subedi of Madi Municipality-9, Krishnanagar, who was returning home after cutting grass in the evening on October 25th, got stuck in a wire fence. Even though he was seriously injured, he was taken to the hospital for treatment, but the doctors could not save him.

Wild animals not only eat crops but also attack humans in Madi, which is surrounded by Chitwan Park and Someshwar Pahad forest. Rup Bahadur's wife Jhanmaya Shahi was also attacked and seriously injured by a bear while working in the field behind the house. The bear attacked badly 25 years ago.

reached from Bharatpur to Kathmandu for treatment. Hospitalized for four/five months. Still not fully recovered. The knee of the right leg that was attacked was left intact . Even now there is pain,' said Jhanmaya. Electric shocks to protect wildlife, sirens to protect people

There are many victims like Jhanmaya in Madi slums connected to Chitwan Park and Riukhola on its border. This problem is even more in Ayodhyapuri area of ​​Madi. That is why President Gaik says that electric fences were started 15 years ago to protect the settlements and residents.

'The current is left by just giving a shock . There is such an electric fence in the 10 km area of ​​Ayodhyapuri,' said Central President Gaik, 'If it is left open, wild elephants, rhinos and antelopes will penetrate and destroy the crops . An electric fence was installed because of a painful incident when meeting people at night.'

Even though the fence was installed for a long time, there were no incidents affecting people. It is not known that even wild animals were injured due to this. Several times even the buffaloes of the villagers were injured. But last year a young man died. After this we have started playing the siren,' said the singer . The committee has placed sirens at four places in the fenced area. Tarbar watchers leave the current in the evening. Before leaving the current, everyone listens and plays the siren .

'After hearing the siren, the locals know that the current has been cut in the wire . They understand that they should not touch or operate a live wire. We have taken this measure because we are aware that there should not be any kind of accident,'' said President Gaik . He said that experts have also planned to alert the community about other ways to avoid electric fences so that they do not suffer more from the fences that have been used to reduce the suffering of wild animals.
