Section 32 of WLPA : Section 32: Ban On Use Of Injurious Substances

Explanation using Example

Imagine a group of fishermen decide to fish in a river within a wildlife sanctuary. One of them suggests using dynamite to make the task easier, arguing that it would stun large groups of fish, making them float to the surface and easy to collect. However, another fisherman recalls that Section 32 of The Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 prohibits the use of explosives within a sanctuary because it could harm or endanger the wildlife. They decide against using dynamite and instead employ traditional fishing methods that do not violate the law.
