Forest safety starts with guard security
There is a popular saying in rural Bengal on the chest of gold jewellery. The question is, which is more valuable—the gold jewellery or the chest that holds it? This saying reflects the idea that if the chest is not secured, there is a risk of the jewellery being stolen. Similarly, in a country where forests are as valuable as gold, forest guards are just as important as the chest that holds the treasure. These guards risk their lives to protect the forest from thieves and poachers. However, if these guards are sent into the forest without any means of self-defense, it is like sending someone into a river filled with crocodiles and sharks with their hands tied.
