Farmers Demand Rail Track Fences to Prevent Elephants from Raiding Crops in Talavadi Hills

The Hindu  

Farmers in Talavadi Hills call for installing rail track fences to prevent wild elephants from entering farmlands and raiding crops. The farmers have reported several villages located near the forest boundary, within the forest ranges of Jeerahalli and Talavadi in the Hasanur Division of the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve (STR). They highlighted the effectiveness of the rail track fences installed in the Biligiri Rangaswamy Temple Tiger Reserve (BRT) in the Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka and requested that a similar system be implemented in the STR. The farmers also made other demands, including the installation of underground electric cable lines, permission to perform pujas in temples located inside the forest area without restriction, and solatium for the families of people killed in conflict with wildlife.
