4 Mar 2022 In
a boost to elephant conservation efforts, the Supreme Court has
directed the Odisha government to notify an elephant corridor, among
the 14 proposed by the state government, within the next three months.
Disposing
a petition, the bench of justices L Nageswara Rao and BR Gavai asked
the Odisha government to notify the Hadgarh-Kuldiha-Similipal elephant
corridor in Mayurbhanj and Balasore districts as a conservation reserve
under Section 36 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. The bench also
asked the state to implement a comprehensive wildlife management plan
before permitting any mining activity in the eco-sensitive zone.
