The Corbett tiger reserve administration is currently undertaking a special intensive patrolling and combing campaign as part of Operation Monsoon. The patrolling and combing in the jungles was extended to settlements and also reached the railway station where personnel questioned suspicious persons and also raised awareness on wildlife conservation. Corbett authorities have prepared the schedule for various patrols including special patrol, long range patrol, weekly patrol, elephant patrol, drone surveillance and night ambush as part of this special campaign. These activities are being undertaken regularly to minimise the possibility of poaching, illegal entry, illegal tree felling and other criminal activities in the forest area. The Bijrani range officer Bhanu Prakash Harbola is monitoring activities under the campaign. On Sunday, the staff conducted checks in the local railway station, bus station and other areas. People from outside and nomads living in tents and temporary shelters were also questioned by the personnel. The local residents were also requested to keep an eye out for suspicious elements and to inform the Forest department in any emergency situation.
