The Hindu
Detailed report to be submitted before the court after four weeks
The State government on Thursday told the Madras High Court that it has undertaken a comprehensive study with the assistance of international elephant experts and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for the purpose of ensuring that elephant corridors and habitat belonging to the elephants in the Nilgiris area, if invaded, are restored to the forests and to the animals. Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy were informed that the Forest Department would submit a detailed report before the court, after four weeks, on the basis of the findings of the study. The report would assist the court in passing necessary orders on a public interest litigation petition alleging large-scale encroachments in elephant corridors.More Related News
