Actress and environmental advocate Dia Mirza has urged the government to take stronger steps towards protecting elephant corridors and ensuring the safe movement of elephants across their natural habitats.

Sharing a message on World Elephant Day, the ‘Sanju’ actress highlighted the importance of preserving the pathways that elephants have used for generations. In a video shared on Instagram, Dia explained that elephant conservation should not be limited to protecting forests and wildlife sanctuaries. She pointed out that elephants travel across rivers, grasslands, farms and forests in search of food and water, to find mates and raise their young.
