TIRUCHI
A high-level committee, comprising experts and officials of Forest, Animal Husbandry and other departments, will be constituted to take up a study and recommend measures to prevent wild animals from damaging crops in Tiruchi region, Minister for Forests K.Ramachandran said.
“We have appointed teams to dig and maintain moats throughout the year in districts to prevent large animals such as elephants and gaurs intruding into human settlements and agricultural fields wherever such problems were reported. This will help recharge the underground water table in the respective areas,” he said speaking at a public hearing organised here on Friday.
