Human-elephant Conflict

In an attempt to prevent incidents of human-elephant conflict, the Madhya Pradesh government has decided to pit tiny honey bees against wild elephants that stray into farms and destroy crops in the border districts of the state.

In a bid to prevent incidents of human-elephant conflict, forest authorities in Madhya Pradesh have embarked upon an innovative plan, promoting bee-keeping and using advanced technology in the jungles of eastern districts of the state.

Four elephants were killed after a speeding train hit them near a level crossing in Bagadihi Forest Range area in Odisha's Jharsuguda district on Monday. The elephants were crossing the railway track, which is a designated elephant corridor, on the Howrah-Mumbai line, said Assistant Conservator of Forests PK Dhal.
