Odisha On Crocodile Alert

The Forest Department in Odisha has taken a proactive step by issuing a crocodile alert in the region. By asking the public to report crocodile sightings via WhatsApp, the department aims to gather real-time information about the movement and presence of these reptiles. This initiative is crucial for ensuring public safety, especially in areas where human-crocodile conflicts are common. The department will use the collected data to develop strategies for managing crocodile populations and mitigating potential threats to humans.
