A Vigilant Forest Ranger

Deep in the heart of a dense forest in the Himalayas a young forest Ranger named Anant woke up to the chorus of exotic birds greeting the morning sun. He stepped outside his wooden cabin. His heart was heavy with worry news of ruthless gang of poachers. From past few days, their brutal activities were on peak. Just for their pleasure, they callously indulged in the killing of the innocent birds. Though Anant tried a lot to identify the gang of poachers but he could not spot them and that's why he was feeling downcast. They were quite shrewd and villainous. They never leave any trace of their Self Identity behind and just because of this, it became extremely difficult for Anant to catch them. He felt helpless and distressed. He was plodding in the midst of forest and started pondering about the solution of the problem. On the very moment, he saw some tribal people who were walking in a group. 

It seemed as if they were in search of water. Immediately, Anant got an idea in his mind. He decided to talk to them and ask for help. He narrated them the problem and asked them to identify the poachers for him. In the beginning, they had shown their reluctance but later on they promised Anant to help him.

The next day, Anant got an information from one of a member of the tribe that the poachers' camp was situated in the edge of the forest. Also, he told him that they were planning to kill some more birds today. Anant teamed up with the tribes and made a plan to trap the poachers. 

Within an hour, Anant along with a group of the tribe went to the place where the poachers had their camp. They keenly monitored their camp and number of people they had. Then, they went to the place where they were planning to kill the birds. They set a trap and patiently waited for their arrival. 

In the afternoon, they saw their callous faces. And the moment, they reached there, they became the victim of Anant's trap. He arrested all of them.

Anant thanked the members of tribe for their vigilance and cooperation.

All poachers were punished under the wild life protection act and they all were imprisoned for three years and fined Rs. 25, 000. 
The next day, this news got published on all the National Daily Newspapers. Anant was having an expression of satisfaction on his face when he read this news with his morning tea.
