The Tragic Incident of Dadeldhura, Leopard Killed the People & People Killed a Leopard


Since the last five years, the Human- Tiger/Leopard- Conflict HTC incidents have been increasing frequently in the Far-western region, especially in the Baitadi and Dadeldhura have been terrorized by a tiger that has killed about 25 children. This is the high numbers compared to the reported data of conflict and death reports from 1994. There are major questions to the concerned agencies, researchers, and experts. Why is HTC increasing in a particular area ?? And what are the preventive measures that should be in place to reduce and prevent the HTC incidents ?? Are they in place?

There are many questions at the micro-level regarding preventive measures, legal provisions, issues, and challenges at the local level. The data shows it should be in-depth discussed and an integrated action plan should be formulated and implemented in the risky zone by the local government. Arterial support is necessary by concerned GO,I/NGO, Private Sectors for taking the development and taking plan into action. 

This blog is about the recent leopard killed 2 people in Dadeldhura. 8 Nov 2020, 13 year's child was killed and the next day(9 Nov) 21 years girl. Finally, the leopard was killed by locals while eating the body of a 21 years old girl at Bhageshwor Rural Municipality.

Based on my own experiments as a resident of the same location. The roaring sound of the tiger/leopard was considered normal, attacks to the domestic animals were considered as threatening incidents but it was not in my record, attacked, and ate man as his daily food however sometimes, the news was listening from the neighbor and around districts. From my point of view, In my opinion, if any mechanism had been activated and controlled leopard immediately after the first incident, both human and leopard would have survived but unfortunately not, and both lost their lives.  

Recent incidents are clearly showing that human activities negatively impacting the life of wild animal, foods, habitat and breaking the whole ecosystem which is directly contributing and compelling to change the behavior of wild animals such as tiger, leopard, and others for their foods, As the result, people are being victims of it again and again

Spontaneous human life is possible only when the ecosystem is working,

The Crying Sirsiya River (Birgunj): A Tale of Neglect and Hope

The Crying Sirsiya River (Birgunj): A Tale of Neglect and Hope As I journeyed along the India-Nepal border, my second visit to Raxaul, India, was marred by a troubling sight. Amidst the routine of travel and commerce, my attention was drawn to the Sirsiya River. What I beheld was not the serene flow of a typical river but a dismal sight – its waters were a deep, ominous black.  I approached the river anxiously, but the workers who were digging a ditch along the bank warned me not to get too close. They cautioned that the water was falling heavily and the river itself was polluted and dangerous; touching it could cause numbness and itchiness. Despite their warning, I observed the scene and managed to take two or four pictures. Reflecting on the experience, I felt compelled to write something.   Current situation of the Sirsiya River ( Photo by Tek)   The Sirsiya River, originating in the pristine Ramban forest of Jitpur Simara Sub-metropolitan 3, was once a symbol of natural beauty and

Social Research: A Guiding Light for Decision-Making In social science research, effective decision-making requires an emphasis on obtaining relevant and accurate information about the organization’s internal and external environments. The primary goal is to provide timely and meaningful insights to senior management, enabling them to plan and execute informed decisions. The research process within organizations typically follows several key stages: 1. Problem Identification This stage involves monitoring and analyzing the internal and external environments to identify key  issues or challenges. Through this process, researchers conduct a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) to gain a deeper understanding of the situation. Data on emerging problems and opportunities is gathered. For example, an Indian garment company looking to expand internationally would need to research market trends, brand awareness, consumer behavior, and competitor analysis. Failure

  In the midst of our ever-evolving world, the challenges faced by wild animals are becoming increasingly critical. One of the most complex issues they encounter is food scarcity, as highlighted by a recent encounter with a monkey displaying a surprisingly angry demeanor while devouring its meal. This observation underscores the growing impact of human activities on wildlife, shedding light on the intricate relationship between wild animals and their struggle for sustenance. During my travels, I have noticed a significant shift in the behavior of monkeys, who are now approaching humans more closely and occasionally resorting to aggressive tactics, such as biting and scratching, to secure their share of resources. This alarming trend creates an atmosphere of fear and terror for humans, emphasizing the consequences of our actions over an extended period. It is evident that the current situation is only the beginning of a potentially escalating conflict between humans and wild animals, ne
