In a heartwarming display of successful human-wildlife coexistence, a herd of 15 elephants has been captured on video utilising a newly constructed overpass designed specifically for their safe passage across railway tracks. The overpass is part of the Kharsiya-Dharamjaigarh East Railway Project, a significant infrastructure undertaking that has prioritised minimising its impact on local wildlife.

The remarkable footage, shared by IAS officer Supriya Sahu on X, showcases the majestic creatures confidently using the specially designed structure to traverse the railway line. This initiative highlights the effectiveness of thoughtful planning and engineering in mitigating the unavoidable intrusion of infrastructure projects into crucial wildlife habitats.

The overpass, meticulously designed with the movement patterns and needs of elephants in mind, offers a safe and uninterrupted corridor for the animals, preventing potentially dangerous encounters with trains. This successful utilisation by a large herd demonstrates the potential for such mitigation strategies to significantly reduce human-wildlife conflict and ensure the well-being of vulnerable species.
