The local authorities put the blame on the comparatively large tiger population in Jaldapara and partly on poachers. Naturalists place the responsibility on inadequate proitection by forest officials. Large-scale encroachments have been made into the sanctuary, in addition to 'army pockets'. The Govt of W Bengal has already asked the army authorities to move out of the main sanctuary.
