A PIL has been filed in Gujarat High Court, seeking direction to the state government not to suppress the "real cause" of death of lions in Sasan Gir, the only abode of Asiatic lions in the world.
At least 14 lions were captured from Gujarat's Gir Wildlife Sanctuary and shifted to Jasadhar care centre in the forest, after some cubs in a pride fell ill, a senior official from the state forest department said on Tuesday.
The hi-tech lion-ambulance, which was rescued from Gir forest was launched last month after the visit of Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani to the Gir Sanctuary. It was launched for the rescue and treatment of endangered Asiatic lions and other wild animals of the Gir forest.
Monsoon has reached Gujarat and mosquitoes have found their best time to pray. At the Gir forest, where there is almost no sign of humans, the arthropods rely on huge animals like lions.
