Electric fences renovated
by A.A.L. Dias, Matale District Gr. Cor.
The Wild Life Conservation Department has taken steps to repair the
electric fences in the sanctuaries in border areas of Matale district,
to drive away the wild elephants.
The electric fences erected at Sigiriya, Wasgamuwa and
Kahalla-Pallekele sanctuaries are in a dilapidated condition permitting
elephants to invade the villages. Therefore, all electric fences,
erected around the sanctuaries, will be repaired. The public on its part
should extend their support to maintain these fences as it cost millions
of rupees to put up fences.
