You are correct Vijay. When I visited MM hills in Karnataka, a forested area where Veerapan use to live. People were saying that after Veerapan death lots of buildings have come up in the name of Eco- tourism and all. In fact the MM hills temple authority also constructed lots of new buildings. These activities devastated lots of forests around which was intact when Veerapan was there. ATREE researchers who are working in these area are also supporting this view and they were saying that forest department is not as effective as Veerapan. However, we cannot avoid or ignore the fact that the density or abundance of elephants and other animals had come down during his ' tenure'.
