Expat Malayalis can now directly report their complaints about fraudulent visa applications and unauthorised foreign employment. As part of Operation Shubhayatra, which the Kerala Police, NORKA, and the Protector of Emigration at the Ministry of External Affairs are jointly carrying out, a 24-hour helpline number and email IDs have been established. These are defined by the Kerala Police. Email addresses spnri.pol@kerala.gov.in and dyspnri.pol@kerala.gov.in as well as the helpline number 04712721547 are available for non-residents to file complaints.

After visa fraud and employment fraud were discovered, a joint meeting was called with the Chief Minister, NORKA Roots, the Protector of Emigration in the Ministry of External Affairs, and Kerala Police. As a result, the state government made the decision to carry out Operation Shubhayatra.

With the aid of the Indian Embassy and expat organisations, the NORKA Department and NORKA Roots are currently taking urgent action to return those who have been trapped abroad due to bogus recruitment and human trafficking. Additionally, extensive awareness campaigns against illegal hiring and visa fraud are being planned. The introduction of a comprehensive system allows non-residents to file complaints directly and pursue legal action in addition to this.

Currently, measures are being taken in response to confidential information regarding human trafficking through airports and coastal areas. In order to stop social media recruitment scams, the police’s cyber division’s services are also being used. Additionally operational is the State Cell, which is led by the IG of the Crime Branch. Under the direction of the nodal officer, anti-human trafficking units have also been established in all police districts.

Year-long study confirms 8 leopards live in Delhi’s Asola wildlife sanctuary

Posted on Author Editor

Eight leopards have been found in the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary, according to a year-long investigation, which is evidence of a healthy environment there. According to the Gazetteer of Delhi, the sanctuary did not record any leopard sightings for many years after 1940. 2019 saw new reports of leopard pug markings and scats in the sanctuary, according to the Delhi Forest Department. 42 infrared stealth camera traps were utilised in the June 2021–June 2022 study by the Bombay Natural History Society and the Delhi Forest and Wildlife Department. It has given an estimate of the leopard population’s size, density, and geographic dispersion. Other mammals including the striped hyena, jungle cat, golden jackal, Indian hare, Indian boar, black buck, sambar deer, spotted deer, and hog deer among others have also been studied in order to better understand their presence and spatial distribution. It verifies the eight leopards’ presence, which is proof of the sanctuary’s robust environment. The findings of this study support the notion that leopards can live in harmony with human communities. “Four males and one female of these eight leopards have consistently shown up in front of video traps. They have frequently been discovered travelling the same tracks over the same week, sometimes even more than once. This may indicate that they’ve settled permanently in this urban woodland “says the study. Sanjay Colony, which borders the sanctuary, has a high human population density. Despite this, leopards occasionally were spotted passing through. The sanctuary’s bordering areas with Chhatarpur and Neeli Jheel saw the most leopard sightings. The sanctuary was established, and the Eco Task Force was recently added, which has decreased human activity there. In order to rewild the refuge, the forest and wildlife agency has started restoration and planting projects there. “The sanctuary has been transformed from a desolate location with abandoned mining shafts and invasive trees into a verdant forest with a wide variety of plants. As a result, the leopard and other creatures in this area have returned “indicated the study. The study, according to the forest and wildlife agency, will act as a pilot study and be used to establish a programme for carrying out lengthy investigations on other species. The study can be helpful in developing other conservation management plans for other linked species with the aim of making the sanctuary into a true urban wildlife refuge, it stated, considering leopards to be an umbrella species. According to researchers, the wildlife corridor between Sariska and Delhi is still in operation, and the sanctuary’s restoration projects have given leopards and the species that they are linked with a secure environment. In the Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh, the leopard population density is 3.03; in the Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan, 3.1; in the Dhachigam National Park in Jammu and Kashmir, 2.8; in the Achanakmar Tiger Reserve in Chhattisgarh, 12.04; and in the Mudumalayi Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu, 13.41.
