The Railway Department has introduced a SMS service to save elephants. There were several reports in the recent past of collisions of elephants with trains.
Under the SMS alert system, anyone who spots an elephant roaming near a railway line can immediately text the Railway control room and inform them of the situation.
Public can call on this number : 070 444 54 54. The Railway Department will formulate a system to inform an engine driver within 24hour, if a member of public informs the Control room via text message of a wild elephant nearby.
