Wildlife Protectors Turn Poachers in Islamabad, CDA Officials Accused of Hunting Rare Deer in Margalla Hills

In Islamabad, the very officials responsible for protecting wildlife have allegedly turned against it.

According to sources, employees of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) have been involved in hunting rare deer in the Margalla Hills National Park.

Reports indicate that the poaching is being carried out by staff from the CDA Environment Directorate, who are supposed to safeguard the region's natural habitat.

In a recent incident, the officials reportedly became anxious when the hunted deer collapsed onto a main road, attracting the attention of locals and tourists. To cover up the act, the employees allegedly slaughtered the animal on the spot and carried it away on their shoulders. Despite efforts by citizens to stop them, the officials managed to flee with the carcass.

Outraged citizens have demanded immediate action against the perpetrators, questioning how wildlife can be protected when those tasked with its protection are engaged in illegal hunting themselves.

Frequent poaching incidents have led to the alarming decline of rare deer and other wildlife species in the Margalla Hills, raising serious concerns among conservationists and the general public.
