The Forest Department in Kandhamal district has installed six solar-powered sirens in elephant-prone areas to reduce human-elephant conflict. These sirens are programmed with five mobile numbers; when a forest official or villager calls one of these numbers upon spotting an elephant, the siren sounds a loud alarm to alert residents. This initiative, implemented in areas like Linga and Gamuli, aims to prevent loss of life and property by giving villagers early warnings to reach safe locations. https://odishasambad.in/solar-powered-siren-installed-in-kandhamal/ #creator program
