The Story in Brief
A joint team of Kerala ministers will visit Aralam farm in Kannur next month to review measures against human-wildlife conflict, The Hindu reports. The team includes Forest Minister Shibu Baby John, Electricity and Environment Minister Sunny Joseph, SC/ST Minister K.A. Thulasi, and Public Works Minister P.K. Basheer. The decision was taken at a meeting convened by the Forest Minister in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday.
The meeting directed that construction of the elephant-proof wall, monitored by the Kerala High Court, be completed by December. It also reviewed undergrowth clearing and vista clearance progress. Additionally, the rehabilitation programme at the farm is to be completed within a stipulated timeframe.
The Indian Opinion
Another ministerial visit, another deadline for the elephant-proof wall at Aralam farm. The December target set by the meeting, with High Court monitoring, sounds firm, but similar deadlines have slipped before. The real test is whether undergrowth clearing and rehabilitation actually keep pace this time, or if officials will be back next year promising the same things. Will the wall be ready by December, or will court oversight merely produce more paperwork?
