The Delhi government has officially notified the creation of nine wildlife inspector posts, addressing a significant manpower gap in wildlife conservation efforts. Until now, the capital had only one designated wildlife inspector, which hindered effective enforcement and response to wildlife-related issues. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa emphasized that deploying wildlife inspectors across Delhi's field divisions is a crucial reform aimed at safeguarding wildlife, curbing poaching, and proactively resolving conflicts. The newly created positions will be filled through direct recruitment by the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board and fall under Level-6 of the pay matrix. This initiative comes in response to increasing wildlife sightings and conflicts, particularly in areas like the Ridge and Yamuna floodplains, where urban expansion has encroached on natural habitats. The addition of dedicated personnel is expected to enhance response times, improve enforcement against illegal activities, and contribute to better biodiversity management in Delhi.
