In a proactive measure to combat the scorching summer temperatures, the Tamil Nadu Forest Department has implemented overhead foggers at the Trichy Elephant Rehabilitation Center. This innovative initiative, spearheaded by DFO Trichy Kritiga and Veterinarian Dr. Kalaivanan, has successfully lowered the ambient temperature within the center by 3 to 5°C compared to the outside environment. This strategic move ensures the well-being and comfort of the resident elephants, marking a commendable achievement in conservation efforts.
