Environment, Ecology and Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre has said that the State government is taking various measures to protect human lives and their property from wild elephant attacks.
Referring to recent incidents of wild elephant attacks at Anekal border where two women and three cows were trampled to death by a wild elephant, Mr. Khandre told presspersons here on Sunday that people are dying due to repeated attacks by elephants and human-animal conflict is increasing. And, this is an alarming issue, he added.
The State government will constitute an expert committee to study human-elephant conflicts and develop comprehensive solutions, he said.
