In order to create a ‘food zone’ for wild elephants in the forest area of the Korea district, around 20,000 Peepal saplings have been prepared in Anandpur Nursery in Koriya, Chhattisgarh.
Sub Divisional Officer of Korea Akhilesh Mishra said that they will prepare 20,000 more saplings in 2023. This has also been done to stay elephants away from the nearby villages.
