Ranjeet Jadhav ranjeet. jadhav@ mid- day. com Plans have been mooted to set up an e- surveillance project at the Sanjay Gandhi National Park.

As per the plan, 40- metre- high towers will be set up at various points in the forest fitted with optical, thermal, bullet and dome cameras. The aim is to keep a tab on human activity and movement of wild animals in order to prevent man- animal conflict as well as poaching. Similar projects have been implemented at Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, Brahmapuri Forest Division and Navagaon Nagzhira Tiger Reserve in Vidharbha.
