Saranda Forests

The carcass of a 12-year-old female elephant was found in a well near Saranda forest in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district on Wednesday, a forest official said.

Amid increased instances of elephants wreaking havoc in Jharkhand, trampling villagers to death and destroying crops and property, the Saranda Forest Division authorities decided to take resort to "Jumbo Hooters" that will scare the intruding animals

The CBI today handed over to the Income Tax department crucial documents in connection with a case of alleged irregularities in giving clearance to a mine in Jharkhand against former Union environment minister Jayanthi Natarajan.

A once-prestigious government boarding school in Saranda - Asia's largest forest on the tri-junction of Jharkhand, Odisha and Chhattisgarh, and a Naxal liberated zone between 2000 and 2012 - is now being revived with the help of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the remote Thalkobad village.

The development comes in the wake of a Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) examining the application of world's largest steel maker for diversion of 202 hectares of reserved forest area in its favour for iron ore and manganese mining in Saranda forest division in West Singhbhum district.

SAIL had approached the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) to secure forest clearance for diversion of 635.986 hectares of forest land in Durgaiburu lease of Gua iron ore mines located in Saranda forest area of Jharkhand.

There is panic in Odisha's steel city Rourkela after a herd of wild elephants found their way into the local Bisra stadium on Friday evening. They are believed to have strayed from the Saranda forests in neighbouring Jharkhand.
