One has to keep in mind that well-meaning though they may be, these are ordinary citizens who need access to security in case of any untoward eventualities

As part of a new plan to conserve Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) and protect it from poaching, forest fires and trespassing, the authorities along with a group of researchers will soon start working on a project called 'Warriors of SGNP', a report said in this paper.
What this rather combative sounding name means is that housing societies on the park's periphery will be identified and residents be made volunteers to work as the eyes and ears of the park authorities. Their job would primarily be to pass on information regarding illegal and suspicious activities in the park to the officials concerned.
