Kannur district panchayat asks local bodies to prepare DPR for plan
With wild elephant menace on the rise, the Kannur district panchayat has directed forest-bordering grama panchayats to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) with the support of the Forest Department for installation of solar hanging fences as an immediate solution to the problem.
District panchayat president P.P. Divya said the heads of grama panchayats should meet by October 15 and submit the DPR by October 20.
She issued the directive at a meeting of presidents of local bodies that share a forest boundary and Forest Department officials to discuss wild elephant menace.
