TheTripuraforest department, to reduce man-animal conflicts, has decided to use GPS-enabled devices to track jumbos movement, said deputy chief wildlife wardenKGRoy.
A Bengaluru-based company has been entrusted with the task of fitting radio collars around the neck of elephants and work is expected to be completed by December. The radio collars will help us track the movement of the wild elephants. We can take measures to push them back to forests if found anywhere near human habitations.
