The wildlife department has moved 20 families of Pardhi and Behlia tribes out of the Panna tiger reserve to Janwar, 10 km from the park. They have been allotted a huge residential plot, which also houses a small industrial unit where the poles are fabricated. The remaining 41 families would join them soon. The British had branded these tribes as criminal tribes. Their hunting skills are well known and many see them as a threat to tiger population, writes Chetan Chauhan in Hindustan Times. |
