The Tamil Nadu Forest Department will be focussing on modernisation of the department and adopting more technology towards conservation efforts, said Supriya Sahu, Additional Chief Secretary, Environment, Climate Change and Forests, here on Sunday.
In her closing remarks at the Tamil Nadu Tiger Conclave organised by the Department as part of the Wildlife Week Celebrations, she said the government had received good response for the tenders it floated to introduce solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI), to prevent elephant deaths due to speeding trains in Madukkarai forest range. She said 23 bidders had responded to the tenders, which are likely to be finalised in a month.
