Panel studying availability of elephant fodder in conflict-hit region in Idukki’s Devikulam range, say officials
Officials said a panel has been formed to assess the supply of food for wild elephants in the Devikulam range of Idukki, an area affected by human‑elephant conflict. The study follows earlier accusations that government agencies were attempting to re‑establish an elephant corridor around Chinnakkanal. The panel’s findings will guide future conservation and conflict‑mitigation measures.
