Forest department in Odisha is experimenting with a siren system, which would go off automatically sensing elephant herds crossing National Highway that is expected to reduce human-elephant encounters.
“We in association with a non-government organization have started a pilot project on siren system to alert traffic about elephant movement. The system has been installed at two places at Ratasingha and Haldihabahal,” said Dhenkanal Divisional Forest officer Prakash Chand Gogineni.
