Tara Gimbhal and her daughter, now 20, at their home in the park area

Instead of helping her deal with her husband’s death, over the last eight years, Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) authorities have simply made things difficult for 45-year-old Tara Gimbhal. After her husband Harichand died in a lion attack during a safari at the park in 2010, authorities had promised her a permanent job. However, it still remains a distant dream.
