TNN | Updated: Dec 7, 2016, 06.42 AM ISTAHMEDABAD: To protect Asiatic lions from electrocution, the Gujarat government informed Gujarat high court
that it has instructed the electricity distribution company not to
continue high voltage electricity supply to areas in the Gir sanctuary
at night.
The issue came before the high court when a wildlife activist, Biren Pandya,
filed a petition demanding investigation by police into the
electrocution of a pregnant lioness. The forest department has
instructed Paschim Gujarat Vij Co Ltd
to discontinue high voltage electrical supply at night to farms and
households within the sanctuary. The state government also told the high
court that it would restrict farm owners from putting up electric
fences to keep wild animals away.
