The Jammu and Kashmir government on Saturday said that 32 people died and 269 were injured in man-wildlife conflicts during the last two years.

The information was shared by Forest Minister Javed Ahmed Rana in a written reply to a question in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.

Sixteen people each died in man-wildlife conflicts in 2023-24 and 2024-25, Rana said in response to a question by National Conference member Mir Saifullah.

He said 124 people were injured in 2023-24 and 145 in 2024-25.

The government paid Rs 121.02 lakh as compensation in 2023-24 and Rs 155.08 lakh in 2024-25. The compensation is provided to victims and their families in accordance with government orders issued from time to time, Rana said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
