Agartala, Jun 12, 2024, By Our Correspondent

Agartala: June 12: In a proactive move, the Sepahijala District Forest Department has implemented alternative measures to prevent monkey fatalities along the Agartala-Sabroom National Highway. On Tuesday afternoon at 5:30 PM, officials from the forest department facilitated safe monkey movement across the highway.

The decision comes in response to reports of numerous animal deaths, particularly monkeys, due to accidents while crossing the road. Previously, concerns were raised about the lack of initiatives by the Sepahijala District Forest Department. However, spurred by public awareness and media coverage, the department has now taken action.

These alternative traffic arrangements are expected to significantly reduce the mortality rate of animals within Sepahijala Sanctuary.
