Ambari, 09th December: Recently the forest personnel of Ambari range arrested three individuals with two elephant ivory from the Champasari area of Siliguri. According to the reports on Friday acting on a tip off Ranger Alamgir Haque and forest personnel of Ambari Range posed as buyers and apprehended three smugglers with two elephant tusks weighning about two kilograms each. However two other kingpins managed to escape. The identities of the accused have not been disclosed for further investigation. Based on forest Department sources; gangs of smugglers have been active in the area for a few days. During interrogation of the arrested accused it was revealed that the seized items were being smuggled to other states from Assam via Siliguri. Today the accused have been produced before the Jalpaiguri court.
This is actually very sad news as it is very bad type of smuggling and it is bad for everyone. Especially the wild animals like elephants are affected by it. Human being should not be very selfish as this world not only for us and it’s our duty to take care of this. Actually elephant ivory is very valuable and business on it is totally illegal. We need to change our mentality and stop doing this type of activity so that everyone lives in this world peacefully.
