Coimbatore enhances elephant safety: Second underpass construction begins

In a bid to safeguard elephants and promote wildlife conservation, construction has commenced on the second underpass for elephants near Coimbatore, a crucial initiative by Southern Railways.

Southern Railways has initiated construction on a second underpass for elephants near Coimbatore, reinforcing the commitment to wildlife conservation and enhancing safety for elephants traversing the region. The underpass, part of a comprehensive strategy, aims to mitigate human-elephant conflicts and facilitate the smooth movement of these majestic animals across railway tracks.

The decision to build a second underpass underscores the importance of harmonising infrastructure development with environmental preservation. The region is known for its elephant population, and this strategic move seeks to reduce instances of elephants crossing railway tracks, thus minimising the risk of accidents for both wildlife and commuters.

The underpass project demonstrates a proactive approach by Southern Railways to address the unique challenges posed by human-animal coexistence in the area. By providing a dedicated pathway for elephants, the initiative not only ensures their safety but also contributes to the broader goal of preserving the rich biodiversity of the region.

This construction marks a positive step towards sustainable development, emphasising the significance of cohabitation between humans and wildlife. As the underpass nears completion, it is anticipated to play a pivotal role in promoting a safer and more harmonious environment for both the local community and the region's elephant population.
