As there is a shortage of cages to keep the problem tigers in the Bardia National Park, two more cages are being constructed. The construction of two cages in Rammapur has reached its final stage.
A tiger cage is going to be constructed near the Rammapur post of the park. At present there are four tiger cages at Bardia National Park headquarters, Thakurdwara and Rammapur. If a wild tiger becomes a problem for the human community due to various reasons or if it is found in an injured state and needs treatment, it is taken under control and kept in a cage.
At present, there are 2 males in Thakurdwara of Bardia Park and 1 female and 2 males in Rammapur. Those tigers have been in the cage for about 6/7 years. Ashok Ram, senior chief conservation officer of the park, said that the construction of the under-construction tiger cage under control will be completed within this financial year.
After the construction of two cages, the problem of keeping tigers will be solved to some extent, he said. In Bardia alone, tigers have killed more than 40 people in the past five years. There are 125 tigers in Bardia Park. According to the 2022 census, there are 355 tigers in Nepal.
Ajit Tumpha Hamphey, head of the National Nature Conservation Fund, said that as the number of tigers is increasing on the one hand and problem tigers are being added, it is necessary to find an alternative. According to him, it is necessary for the government to bring the concept of Open Zoo Safari so that the problem wildlife tigers are not forced to be captured and kept in cages.
