Alwar, June 9 -- Wildlife experts and the opposition Congress have raised questions about the composition of Supreme Court-mandated committee for demarcation of a critical tiger habitat (CTH) inside the Sariska Tiger Reserve flagging a lack of experience in tiger reserve management among the committee members. The committee, which was formed by the state government and submitted a draft CTH to the govern- ment on April 30, recommended incorporation of regions with high tiger movement into the CTH, and excluded peripheral areas with lower wildlife activity, STR field director Sangram Singh Katiyar said. The draft has been criticised by both the wildlife experts and political leaders. Criticising the committee's constitution, former STR field director RS Shekhawat said: "Unfortunately, the committee constituted by the Rajasthan government does not have the required expertise or experience in tiger reserve management to deliver justice to tiger conservation." The committee should have included at least three officers with a minimum of five years' experience in any tiger reserve, senior scientists from the Wildlife Institute of India, a representative from the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), and should have been led by an officer of additional principal chief conservator of Forests (APCCF) rank or above, Shekhawat said. Earlier on Saturday evening, leader of opposition in the state assembly Tikaram Jully said the draft selectively excluded areas owned by miners while including farmers' fields within the CTH boundaries. "This is unacceptable to us. We will not remain silent if this is an attempt to displace innocent farmers while sparing influential lobbies," he said, threatening to launch statewide protests. The Supreme Court earlier ordered the formation of a high-level committee to demarcate a CTH within STR to enhance tiger conservation in accordance with Section 38V of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972....
