Idukki Collector orders removal of unauthorised barriers obstructing wildlife movement
The district collector of Idukki has instructed the local self‑government, revenue, forest and survey offices to identify and dismantle any fences, walls or other structures erected without permission along forest borders, saying they hinder wildlife movement. Officials must locate these illegal barriers and ensure their removal to restore natural animal corridors. The directive aims to protect ecological corridors and comply with environmental regulations.
