Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that a state-level elephant task forcewill be constituted in Madhya Pradesh to promote harmonious elephant-human coexistence. Special Hathi Mitr will be appointed to support this initiative. In regions with significant elephant activity, solar fencing systems will be installed to protect farmers' crops. Additionally, efforts will be made to involve farmers in agro-forestry and other alternative livelihoods beyond traditional agriculture. Dr. Yadav emphasized plans to develop forest areas in the state that foster coexistence between elephants and human settlements. He mentioned that discussions with the Union Forest Minister have taken place to ensure proper guidance and effective action by the Forest Department. In districts where elephants inhabit forest regions, elephant friends will also work to raise public awareness.
