Makawanpur: – Students studying at the Institute of Forest Studies (Forestry) have blocked the east-west highway demanding protection of wildlife.

They blocked the highway with slogans like ‘Campus administration is mortalism, Chittal cannot be killed, and such administration is not needed’.

They have demanded that the open area of ​​the campus should be closed, the road area should be cut and a wall should be built in the campus, proper arrangements should be made for the protection of wildlife, the sub-metropolitan government should manage stray dogs and the dogs should not be left unattended.

According to the students, 16 chitals have been found dead in restricted area of ​​Forestry Campus so far.
