The Forest Department will seek additional funds for prevention of man-animal conflict in villages bordering forest areas, Minister for Forests and Ecology Eshwara Khandre said in the Legislative Council here on Monday.
He said that work on around half of the proposed 240 km of elephant corridor has been completed.
“The rest will be completed soon. We have funds of around ₹100 crore for prevention of conflicts. We have asked the State government to double the funds,” he said.
