The state of Odisha has announced plans to install automatic sirens in areas prone to elephant accidents. These sirens are aimed at alerting drivers when elephants are crossing or nearby, to reduce the number of elephant-vehicle collisions. The initiative is part of efforts to protect wildlife, especially elephants, which are frequently involved in accidents in the state, and to ensure safer passage for these majestic animals.

Information Booster:

•  Odisha has a significant elephant population, with more than 1,000 elephants in the state.

•  The system will detect the movement of elephants and activate sirens that warn drivers of the approaching animals.
•  The initiative is aimed at preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of both elephants and humans.
•  Forest officials and wildlife protection groups are supporting this initiative to ensure better wildlife conservation.
