TNN, Jan 7, 2011, 05.41am IST

LUCKNOW: Immediately after the Billy Arjan Singh Memorial convention on 'Why we are not able to save the tiger and possible solutions' held recently, the Tiger and terrain trustees have decided to hold a meeting on Friday. The convention was able to attract some suggestions from participants which can form a concrete programme to fulfil the aim of the trust in saving the tigers of UP.

Organising secretary, Kaushlendra Singh said that minister for state (Independent charge) for corporate and minority affairs Salman Khurshid has consented to grace the occasion. "As he himself is eager to see the national animal survive and flourish, he will support us in raising important issues involving conservation of tiger," Singh said. tnn

Further to this meeting, a team will go to Dudhwa Tiger reserve and will make an attempt to meet field director and other officials concerned to get acquainted with their difficulties which they are facing in saving the tiger. Second in line in the same trip will be an attempt to meet the villagers along with gram pradhans of villages located on the fringe of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve and talk to them on same lines.

These two meetings will give us a clear picture as to where do we stand and where we can be of help, we are more than sure that some ticklish problems will come up but we will definitely try to do the best possible on our part.
