Efforts are underway to install sign boards along elephant corridors
passing through the forests of Surai, Kilpura and Khatima ranges in the
Udham Singh Nagar district to aid forest personnel in understanding the
routes and better navigation, officials said on Saturday.

Sightings of elephants have recently been reported in the Surai range,
indicating ongoing movement within the corridor. However, there have been
instances of elephants straying into populated areas due to road blockages,
leading to crop damage.

Sub-divisional officer of Khatima forest range, Sanchita Verma, said, “In
collaboration with Wildlife Trust of India, we have initiated preparations
for placing sign boards in all the elephant corridors with an aim to
facilitate safe movement of elephants within the forests.”
