Wild animal menace: solar-powered hanging fences to be set up around vulnerable areas in Chakkittappara panchayat in Keralam’s Kozhikode
Authorities in Kerala's Kozhikode district will install solar‑powered hanging fences around the Chakkittappara panchayat to protect villages such as Poozhithode, Chempanoda and Alambara. The barriers aim to deter frequent incursions by wild elephants, boars and monkeys that have been reported by local residents, providing a renewable‑energy based solution to the ongoing human‑wildlife conflict in the region.
