    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the commitment which had been made by the KWS, for example, to organize separate water pans for the people and separate ones for the animals, these are commitments which were made and various answers have been given in this statement which the Senators challenged. What we intend to do is to request the KWS Director and his staff to come to our meeting. We will raise the various concerns which the Senator has raised and deal with the statement you have talked about, including aerial and ground elephant drives. We have been told from the ground that they are not undertaking any such drives. What is the actual position on the ground? In fact, information given to us has been challenged by the Senator. That is why it is important to get the people, tell them what the Senators said, tell them what the feelings on the ground are and tell them about the procurement of collars, for example, which the Senator has challenged and let us understand what is going on in the ground. Is what they say in the statement they have given us what exists on the ground? That is what we intend to do. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of human-wildlife conflict has arisen and the Sen. (Dr.) Zani has raised that issue as well. We know that this is something occurring all over the country where we have conservancies or reserves. We had discussions with the KWS on this matter and they have given undertakings of the various measures they intend to put in place in conjunction with the local communities in those areas. Whether that will work to the satisfaction of everybody is one question, but I know that arrangements have been made to reduce the conflicts between humans and wild animals."
