one-km energy fence work begins in Laltappar to curb wildlife movement near Doiwala homes and farms
The Forest Department has started installing a one-km energy fence in Ward 3 of Laltappar under Majri Grant gram panchayat. Residents living near the forest boundary say increasing movement of wild elephants and leopards has created fear at night and affected farming, while the fence is expected to reduce wildlife entry into residential areas.
