MYSURU: Jana–Vana Sethuve, a novel initiative by the Karnataka forest department to provide transportation services to those living inside the forest in about 12 villages inside Male Mahadeshwara Wildlife Sanctuary, recently helped in shifting a pregnant woman to a hospital.
Ten days after launching its service in thick forest of MM Hills, the facility has helped over 5,000 residents in the villages of Kokkabre, Tokere, Doddane, Martalli, Ajiipura, Kanchalli, Palar and MM Hills as commuting on the kaccha (unkempt) roads of the forest have been made easy.
