Andhra to Deploy Kumki Elephants

The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to deploy two Kumki elephants in the state to tackle the growing menace of wild elephants. Kumki elephants are trained elephants used to calm down and guide wild elephants away from human settlements. The deployment of Kumki elephants is expected to reduce the conflict between humans and wild elephants in the region. The move is a significant step towards mitigating the human-wildlife conflict in Andhra Pradesh.
