BHUBANESWAR: Over 200 people, mostly tribals, were arrested on the charge of poaching in Orissa's Similipal National Park and Tiger Reserve on Wednesday. Carrying country-made guns, bows and arrows, they entered the 2,750 sq km area in groups and started hunting animals. The tribals killed two sambar deer and a barking deer. Forest officials swung into action and a total of 24 country-made guns and over 198 bows and 470 arrows were recovered from them. The arrested were produced before the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate at Karanjia on Thursday. The tribals, living around Similipal, go in for "akhand shikar" (traditional hunting) in the park every year in December and January. The reserve is home to around 100 tigers.
