Through the Reader lens: The Karnataka Forest Department has deployed ten specially trained Belgian Malinois sniffer dogs across five major tiger reserves to combat increasing poaching activities. These dogs, trained at the Melukamanahalli camp in Bandipur, are known for their high speed and keen sense of smell.
