Protect wild animals from train accidents
In a bid to save wild animals from getting killed after being hit by trains in north Bengal, the state will urge the Centre to ask the railways to follow norms while running trains through the forests of the area. State forest minister, Mr Ananta Roy, today said at Writers' Buildings that a number of elephants and other wild animals like snakes and bison were killed in north Bengal over the past few years after these were hit by speeding trains.
