Search for tusker trackers

Forest officials of Dalma wildlife sanctuary are frantically searching for experts to fix radio collars on elephants as funds for the purpose have been returned twice. From 2007, the Centre has been giving Rs 8 lakh per year to the state to get the radio tracking system rolling. Senior officials at Dalma wildlife sanctuary said they had approached the Centre for funds to start the project to keep track on tuskers.
