West Bengal, 21st November: <\/strong>The West Bengal government has started providing jobs to the next of kin of people killed by wild animals, mostly elephants, and tigers, in West Bengal since 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least 584 people were killed by wild animals in Bengal between 2015 and 2020 [till October 31]. In the first phase at least 434 people would be provided the jobs of home guards,\u201d<\/strong> said an official of the state forest<\/a><\/span><\/span> department.<\/p>\n

Between 2014 and 2019, the state accounted for the highest number of people killed by tigers and the second-highest by elephants after Odisha.<\/p>\n

West Bengal has over 700 elephants and around 100 tigers. Often wild animals are killed in the human-animal conflict. According to forest department data, at least 47 elephants have been electrocuted in West Bengal since 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cTill date villagers killed by elephants used to get a compensation of Rs 2.5 lakhs. We have taken a policy decision that henceforth we will provide a member of the victim\u2019s family a job of the home guard,\u201d<\/strong> said the official.<\/p>\n

The move to provide jobs comes six months before the assembly elections. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is posing a tough challenge to the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC<\/a><\/span><\/span>). The state government has also started providing jobs to family members of untraceable people abducted by Maoists around a decade back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
