Jamshedpur: In view of the rising incidents of man-animal conflict in Chakulia forest range, the Jamshedpur forest division has taken a slew of preventive measures, including distributing torch-lights among the van suraksha samitis and increasing the number of quick response teams (QRT) deployed in that range, among others.
On Sunday, the division distributed torch-lights among 40 van samitis spread across 40 villages that are located in the foothills of the elephant corridor in Chakulia. “More flashlights will be given to the samitis in the coming days,” Chakulia forest ranger Ashok Singh said.
The division has assured the van samiti volunteers that the number of QRTs will be increased to two. QRTs, which consists of six forest guards, rush to the spot immediately after receiving information about the movement of elephants in the foothills to drive the animals back to the forest. The van samiti volunteers assist the teams in chasing them away.
