EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Coimbatore

According to forest department sources, 12 AI-enabled cameras were fixed in the area in November 2023 on pilot basis and officially inaugurated by the then forest minister M Mathiventhan in February 2024. This has helped to monitor movement of wild animals, especially elephants, near the railway tracks.

Of the 12 AI cameras, five are fixed on railway line A and seven cameras are fixed on railway line B in Solakkarai reserve forest in the Madukkarai-Walayar section.
