In Belauri Municipality-2 Teduwa, for two days this week, an attempt was being made to control the tiger hiding in the wheat field by darting it. A white cloth was wrapped around the fence to prevent the tiger from escaping. Two years ago, a woman was killed in a tiger attack in Belauri, and the locals were shocked as well as angry.

At midday on the second day, when the tiger was approached, Ganesh Rana, wildlife technician of the Shuklaphanta conservation program of the National Nature Conservation Fund, took aim with a dart gun.

 . The security personnel behind and Rana, who was sitting in the middle, attacked the tiger as soon as it approached. The needle filled with hanging medicine hit the tiger's body . Then he raised his thumb to inform everyone and gave 'thumbs up'. Rana said, ``It is signaled like this to inform everyone.''Suddenly, the tiger will run and fall down, then it will be taken under control.'' At that time, the locals were even more angry because of the death of a woman from a tiger attack. From forest workers to security personnel, all participated in the effort to control the tiger . Even then, it took two days to control the tiger.

Last July, Rana had also rendered unconscious the tiger that killed a woman in Dodhara Chandni Municipality-2. Even at that time, a lot of effort had to be done . "Sometimes you go here, sometimes you go there, it's very tiring," says Rana, "even if you see them again, sometimes they attack elephants, sometimes they attack people, it's very risky." Rana has darted 3 tigers and a dozen leopards.

As soon as the tiger is mentioned, there is fear along with curiosity . Because there is a risk of being attacked by a tiger, many people are also afraid. Taking control when the same tiger has entered the settlement is not at all risky . Wildlife technician Rana is ready to dart the tiger even at risk. He has been darting wild animals trapped and trapped in settlements for a long time .

"There is more risk when darting a leopard than a tiger," Rana said, "It is difficult to target because the leopard has a beak and runs more, and the risk of attacking again is also high."

To control tigers and leopards, security personnel, forest and protected area employees are all from their respective areas. But directly the role of the shooter seems to be important . Only after the shooter can aim correctly can the dart be made unconscious and taken under control.

``In the plains, you have to mount an elephant and take a target, you have to take a risk by reaching high hills and mountains,'' says Rana, ``I was scared at first, but now I'm used to it.'' According to him, after fixing the target, one has to stop breathing for a while. Breathing begins to worsen.

Rana of Vedkot Municipality-10 Daiji of Kanchanpur can only read and write. He learned about it only after participating in the training of wildlife technicians in Chitwan 15 years ago. In Chitwan National Park, he learned the method of hunting and darting wild animals along with others.

After three and a half years of training, he came to Shuklaphanta National Park. Now 5/6 people including him who can dart wild animals in Shuklaphanta conservation program of National Nature Conservation Fund are ready. It has been four/five years since the team here started to rescue and control the leopard by darting alone . To control the tiger, a team of technicians used to come from Bardia as a helper .
