The death of eight elephants in Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh, likely due to consuming fungus-infected kodo millet, underscores a profound and growing challenge in India’s conservation landscape.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday took stock of the preparation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s program scheduled to be held at Lal Parade ground in Bhopal on Tuesday.
PM Modi will visit the state today and will flag off two Vande Bharat trains in the state capital. Besides, he will launch two missions which include the sickle cell anaemia mission and the distribution of Ayushman Bharat cards in the state. Meanwhile, the police department also is on high alert for the security of PM Modi. Police put barricades at various places, diverted the route at many places in the city.
