“The experiment failed in Chhattisgarh as they fell off within days”
As Odisha is in the process of fitting elephants with radio-collar to track their movement and prepare a strategy to minimise man-elephant conflict, environmentalists have urged the State government to learn from the Chhattisgarh experiment. The radio collars fitted on elephants in the State had fallen off within days.
The Wildlife Society of Orissa, an environmental pressure group, raised concerns about the effectiveness of the radio collars and their longevity.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
