The decision to lay the solar hanging fences was taken in the wake of increasing man-animal conflict.
The first phase of work to set up solar hanging fences in areas in Payyavoor panchayat, which is adjoining the Karnataka forest fringes, will begin on Wednesday.
The decision to lay the solar hanging fences was taken in the wake of increasing man-animal conflict, especially the elephant menace in the region, which is causing damages to crops and a threat to life.
For the project, ₹55 lakh has been sanctioned by the District Panchayat, ₹25 lakh by Payyavoor Panchayat and ₹5 lakh by Block Panchayat.
