Jalpaiguri, Nov. 9: The state forest department has decided to use Global Positioning System (GPS) to monitor elephant herds to reduce man-animal conflict.

Elephants moving through the stretch starting from the Mechi River to the Sankosh River on the Assam border will be tagged with satellite collars. They follow the stretch of land that runs through Mahananda, Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary, Gorumara National Park and Buxa Tiger Reserve.

According to the forest minister, Jogesh Burman, a team of experts from Indian Institute of Sciences, Bangalore, is already in Jalpaiguri now to track the herds and start the GPS. The elephant leading the herd will don the collar with the Global Positioning System.
