Lives of villagers around the park has become very difficult since the establishment of the park. The park is not fenced to retain wild animals within its premises. Wild animals such as monkeys destroy the crops of villagers at the nearby fields. The response of the authorities of the park on this issue is so disguting. They say the villagers should stay at the fields day and night to scare of the animals. They say they are not intending to fence the premises because they want wild aninals from outside to enter. This was said by the top most official on Moafrika FM radio on 12th June 2024.
