- Tamil Nadu plans its first artificial intelligence (AI)-based early warning system to prevent wild elephants from getting hit by trains on railway lines.
- It is laid along the Ettimadai–Walayar section, which links Tamil Nadu and Kerala, is nearing completion.
- It will give an additional layer of protection for pachyderms.
- The installation of all 12 e-surveillance towers for the project — five along the ‘A’ line and seven along the ‘B’ line, of the twin single line — has been completed.
- A total of 11 elephants were killed in six train collisions on the two railway lines linking Coimbatore and Palakkad from 2008 to 2022.
