‘Gajarath Yatra' to tackle human-elephant conflict
Raipur: In a step towards mitigating human-elephant conflict and promoting wildlife conservation, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai flagged off 'Gajarath Yatra' in Jashpur on Saturday.
This outreach initiative aims to spread awareness about elephant behaviour, safety measures, and the importance of coexistence, especially in rural and forest fringe communities.
The campaign will reach schools, gram panchayats, and weekly markets across elephant-affected districts.
The CM also honoured several forest department personnel who have shown exceptional commitment to wildlife conservation and conflict management.
