Three temporary forest workers died while fighting a wildfire in Navegaon Nagzira Tiger Reserve in April 2021. Despite five years passing, their families have only received 10 lakh rupees in compensation and are struggling for permanent government jobs. The Forest Headquarters rejected the job proposal citing lack of provisions for temporary staff. Human rights activists have highlighted the disparity in compensation compared to other industrial accidents and are demanding justice for the families.
