The elephant by train in Sri Lanka, despite the safety measures that were presented after another killer accident

Colombo – The Sri Lankan Express train killed an elephant, which was returned on Tuesday, despite the safety measures that were presented after the country’s wild railway in the country three months ago on the same road. Local officials said that the young wild elephant crossing the route near Habaraana was running from the same train involved in the February 20 accident that killed seven elephants. After this incident, officials imposed the speed limits on trains that pass through the habitat of the elephant.

No travelers were injured in the accident, which occurred about 110 miles on the road east of the capital, Colombo.

The railway authorities said that the investigation was underway, and the engineers were trying to re -train Colombo Peticaloa on the path after the pre -dawn crash.

The authorities had announced earlier changes to train time schedules and efforts to wipe the bushes on both sides of the path to improve drivers’ vision, to give them more time to avoid beating elephants.

Wildlife officials have said 139 villas have been killed by trains over the past 17 years, since the authorities began collecting these data.

The government also announced that 1,195 people and 3484 villas have been killed in the past decade due to the increasing conflict on the island.

The killing of elephants or harm is a criminal crime in Sri Lanka, which has an estimated 7,000 wild elephants – is considered a patriotic treasure, partly due to its importance in Buddhist culture.

However, killings continue, as desperate farmers are struggling with elephants that care about their crops and destroy their livelihoods.

Several elephants have been electrically or poisoned. Sometimes, explosive explosive fruits are used to distort animals, which often leads to painful deaths.

India, which includes the population of the wild elephant more than twice the secret size of Lanka, also deals with the regular Patchaider train collision. India has lost about 200 villas over the past decade to train accidents alone, in addition to a large number of deaths caused by overfishing and cross -electricity.

The Indian government has introduced measures to reduce train speeds in the designated elephants, but activists say that the rules are often applied poorly.

Earlier this year, the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu became the first to launch an intelligence and anti -learning monitoring system to help prevent elephants on railways.
