Bilaspur, May 14
Some youths of the Nagar Uthhan Samiti helped save the life of a chamois, locally known as sambar, at the Shah Talai bazaar after it got hurt while trying to get out of a trap laid by some hunter, 62 km from here, today.
According to a report, a frightened sambar, which was hurt in one of its feet, suddenly entered the bazaar and then rushed into a steel unit to take cover from the people.
However, some youths of the samiti, led by its general secretary Pyare Lal Soni, and members of the Beopar Mandal, tied the animal with a rope and treated it for its injuries. They then informed forest guards Gyan Chand Varma and Inder Singh and handed it over to them for further treatment.
It was said some villager might have put a “kadaki” (a trap which catches an animal which happens to cross that way) either in the nearby jungle or in his fields and it got stuck in that trap. It must have pulled hard to get rid of the clutches and, thus, hurt its foot.
Forest Department officials had warned villagers against using any such method to kill or catch animals as it was a punishable offence in the state.
Later, the animal was led to the Veterinary Hospital at Daslehada where it was treated and then handed over to Forest Range Officer Bhag Singh for handing it over to the Wildlife Department.
