The Forest Department has started a loudspeaker campaign in the border areas of Sherpur’s Nalitabari, Jhenaigati, and Sreebardi to raise awareness about wild elephant protection. Citizens are urged to follow the Wildlife Conservation and Security Act, 2012, which prohibits harming elephants. Violators face jail and fines. The department also promises compensation for damages caused by elephants. People are advised to avoid provoking elephants and report sightings to authorities. Since 2014, 45 people and 35 elephants have died in related incidents in Sherpur.
In the hilly border areas of Nalitabari, Jhenaigati, and Sreebardi upazilas of Sherpur, the Forest Department has begun using loudspeakers since Sunday to raise public awareness about protecting wild elephants.
