and Forest Department jointly marked elephant zones along the Chakulia, Chandil, Chaibasa, and Rourkela routes. Locomotive pilots have been instructed to reduce train speeds and honk continuously in elephant zones to prevent train accidents. Despite these measures, one or two elephants continue to die each year due to train collisions.

2017 se ab tak Howrah-Mumbai route pe 18 elephants train se khatam ho gaye hain. Chakradharpur, Kharagpur aur Adra divisions mein yeh incidents hue hain. 2018 mein Gidhani ke paas, ek goods train ne teen elephants ko maar dala aur 2022 mein Banspani ke paas, ek aur goods train se teen...

elephants ki jaan gayi. Iske baad, Railways aur Forest Department ne saath milkar Chakulia, Chandil, Chaibasa, aur Rourkela routes pe elephant zones mark kiye. Locomotive pilots ko order diya gaya hai ki woh elephant zones mein train ki speed kam karein aur continuously horn bajaaye. Iske baavjud, har saal ek ya do elephants train ki wajah se mar jaate hain.

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
