‘Protect elephant corridors’

Udhagamandalam: The need to protect elephant corridors was emphasized at a meeting of the Public Awareness Association of Udhagamandalam held here on Sunday.

Expressing concern over the unauthorised constructions which have come up inside the corridors, the participants said that in keeping with an order of the High Court the district administration should snap their power and water connections.

The meeting resolved to urge the government to expedite work on setting right the damage that had been caused to the Coonoor-Mettupalayam highway by the landslides that had occurred recently. It regretted that rules relating to display of cutouts were being flouted in this hill station.

The authorities should caution consumers about the quality of items being sold by pavement hawkers.
