WORLD ELEPHANT DAY

Guwahati: The 134 Infantry Battalion (Territorial Army) Ecological, Assam has organized a mass plantation drive to commemorate World Elephant Day in Assam’s Sonitpur district.

The initiative is aimed at restoring vital elephant corridors by planting fruit-bearing trees.

The Territorial Army (TA), a distinguished military reserve force that provides critical operational and logistical support to the Indian Armed Forces and civilian authorities during natural calamities and national and regional emergencies, proudly marks its Platinum Jubilee Year from 1949 to 2024.

In continuation of the celebrations, the 134 Infantry Battalion (Territorial Army) Ecological, Assam, also known as the 134 Ecological Task Force (ETF), organized the mass plantation drive.

Elephant corridors help prevent human-elephant conflict by allowing these animals to freely move as they traverse diverse forest habitats.

The fruit-bearing trees planted along these designated corridors will provide the pachyderms with ample food sources, thereby reducing the chances of them straying into neighbouring human settlements in search of food.

The 134 ETF, established in 2007 in the Sonitpur District of Assam, was formed to combat rampant deforestation and restore the region’s fragile ecological balance.

Since its inception, it has been playing a crucial role in environmental conservation in Sonitpur and Biswanath districts of Assam.

To commemorate the World Elephant Day and the Platinum Jubilee of the Territorial Army, the 134 ETF conducted a large-scale plantation drive of fruit-bearing trees in the designated Elephant Corridors in Sonitpur district in conjunction with MOEF&CC and SFD.

This initiative saw enthusiastic participation from the local villagers and school children, who joined hands to develop and maintain the elephant corridors in their area.

During the event, ETF personnel, engaged with the villagers and school children, emphasized the importance of protecting the ecosystems. They highlighted that the success of any ecological mission depends on the active and wholehearted involvement of every member of society.

This mass plantation drive is in continuation of a series of events planned throughout the Platinum Jubilee Year to promote environmental awareness and sustainability.
