Dear Sir,
I am a regular subscriber of your trusted English Daily. Through your paper, my villagers would like to take the attention of the concerned authority about to build the road through National Park.
There is a decision made to build a new road from Kohalpur to Karnali through national park, and to expand the area of the park near from the Kohalpur to Tikapur. I am a resident near by the national park. There are many wild animals and birds which are very harmful to the people around it. The existing national park is enough for us to preserve the animals and birds.
Many times the tiger and leopard came out and killed many people of my village. Again there is a decision to preserve more than it, which means will be many dangerous wild animals in the future. It is very dangerous for the people who are living around it. We plant our corps and the wild animals destroyed our grain in the past many times, and while stopping them our people lost their lives as well. The jungle hampers our farming most of the time. We can't bear all the destruction and obstacles of the national park.
We request to the concerned authority to listen our problem. We will agree if they make a bar around it so that no animals can harm and destroy our farms. If they do so, we can help them to build the road anyway.
Yours faithfully
Hardik Pant
