A political monitoring committee will be formed in Idukki to monitor issues related to wild animal attacks. It was decided at an all-party meeting chaired by Water Resources Minister Roshy Augustine at the Idukki Collectorate on Tuesday.
According to officials, all MLAs and MPs in the district and political party representatives will be part of the committee. “Four representatives from the Left Democratic Front (LDF), three from the United Democratic Front (UDF), and one from the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) will be included in the committee,” said an official.
Mr. Augustine said that the government would expand the functioning of the Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) in the district to prevent repeated wild animal attacks. “At present, 10 RRTs and two special teams are functioning in Idukki,” said the Minister.
