Kabirdham. This is Beat No. 477 of Gram Panchayat Neur under Pandaria block of the district, where the villagers found the body of a deer cub covered with leaves and soaked in blood on the edge of the field. There are injury marks on the head of the dead deer. The villagers allege that the owner of the field killed the deer by beating it with a stick for deer meat, and covered it with leaves on the edge of the field, so that no one could see it and he could take it away in the darkness of the night when he got a chance.
In fact, encroachment by villagers in the forest of Kabirdham district is increasing day by day. People are occupying it by building houses and fields. In such a situation, the forest for wild animals is shrinking, and this is the reason why wild animals reach residential areas, and become prey to hunters.
