The escalation in the man-elephant conflict in the eastern Dooars has prompted the authorities of the Buxa Tiger Reserve (BTR) in Alipurduar to take a new strategic initiative to mitigate such conflicts.
Sources in the BTR, the sole tiger reserve in north Bengal, said they had opened a 24/7 central control room at the office of the west division of the reserve to monitor the movement of wild elephants outside the forest boundaries.
