Fences to be first set up in the Thiruvambady Assembly constituency
As a temporary solution to wild animal menace, the Forest Department has decided to repair all damaged power fences along forest borders in Kozhikode district of Kerala. Considering the rise in complaints from settler farmers, more vulnerable areas will be identified to erect power fences. Fences will be first set up in the Thiruvambady Assembly constituency. Threat from wild animals, including elephants and boars, has been rampant for several years thanks to the proximity of farm lands to forest borders. Though there are trenches in some areas, a majority of farmers are still vulnerable.More Related News
