Even elephants are straying onto roads, leading to unfortunate incidents. It is imperative that we ensure these animals receive all necessary facilities in their natural habitats.
"If we don't maintain ecological balance, no one will survive. We must preserve both the animals and the forests. The forest is like the lungs of the human body, and we depend on each other for survival," he said.
CM Saha also appealed to the community, particularly students, to visit wildlife sanctuaries in the state, announcing that the education department would consider making such visits mandatory for students.
