PCCF Orders Forest Department and Police Investigation
Odisha wildlife rescue
There were five orangutans discovered in Odisha.
This discovery has created international smuggling doubts.
PCCF Prem Jha has confirmed this doubt.
Forest department will conduct an inquiry in this matter.
Moreover, police has also been instructed to carry out inquiry.
Orangutans are not commonly sighted in India.
They only show up in two or three places.
However, there was no such history of it in Odisha.
That is why officials think about illegal wildlife chain.
The team of Nandankanan has left for Bhograi.
This team will conduct the assessment of rescued orangutans.
The officials will move all the five orangutans to Nandankanan.
They will be kept under quarantine at Nandankanan.
In addition, the origins of the orangutans will be investigated.
