Plans to recruit multi-purpose officers to combat human-elephant conflicts: Pavithra
Plans are afoot to recruit permanent multi-purpose officers to the Department of Wildlife Conservation in a bid to combat human-elephant conflicts, Wildlife and Forest Resources Conservation Minister Pavithradevi Wanniarachchi said.
She said a Cabinet Paper has already been submitted in this regard, said the Minister at the Ministerial Consultative Committee on Wildlife and Forest Resources Conservation meeting held in Parliament recently.
The MPs said that if the multi-purpose officers are hired while the officers of the Civil Security Department who are already deployed to prevent human-elephant conflicts continue to work, day and night search operations can also be carried out to prevent elephants from entering villages.
