Dist admin limits estate working hours to curb human-elephant conflict in Belur
Hassan: With the human-elephant conflict increasing in Hassan's Belur taluk, the district administration suggested that coffee plantation workers avoid entering estates before 9am and after 6pm. There were multiple fatal encounters over recent years, with an alarming rise in incidents reported, especially over the last two years. Hence, deputy commissioner C Sathyabhama issued a warning to curb further tragedies. The DC, in a communique, stated that the labourers could work in coffee estates between 9am and 5pm. She issued the order under the provisions of the Minimum Wages (Central) Rules, 1950. The order is applicable to Arehalli hobli, Bikkodu hobli, and Kasaba hobli in the taluk. The order came into effect immediately, and the DC directed the officers of the forest department and police to alert the residents in the area about the initiative. Usually, plantation workers enter estates for work early in the morning and return home by afternoon or by 4pm. However, Sathyabhama noted that elephant herds prefer moving from one place to another between 6pm and 8am. Most of the human-elephant conflicts occurred during this time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Considering this, the DC passed an order restricting the time for plantation workers. The human-elephant conflict is so severe that several people have lost their lives since Jan 2025. While Dyavamma,74, of Kanakuppe village in Arehalli died in an elephant attack on Feb 13, Anil, 28, of Gujjanahalli died on Feb 24. On March 14, an elephant attacked Susheelamma, 63, of Kogodu village. Chandrakala, 43, of Ankihalli in Bikkodu village died on May 23. However, while planters are accepting the new initiative, the authorities must not escape from their duties by taking new initiatives and must make prompt efforts to prevent human-elephant conflict, said Vishwas, a planter.

Class 10 topper becomes Deputy Commissioner for a day in Himachal's Mandi
It was a day to remember in Himachal Pradesh's Mandi as Anvi Singh, a Class 10 topper, became the Deputy Commissioner under a new initiative by the district administration aimed at inspiring young achievers. Anvi, a student of Alok Bharti School in Kotli and a resident of Doon village in Sarkaghat, secured the fourth position in the Class 10 Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education exams and topped in the Mandi district. As a reward for her academic excellence, she was given the opportunity to serve as the Deputy Commissioner (DC) for a day under the district's new 'DC for a Day' campaign. Welcomed warmly by Deputy Commissioner Apoorva Devgan and the staff at the DC office on Friday morning, Anvi was introduced to various administrative functions and responsibilities. Her father, Vikram Singh Thakur, and grandfather accompanied her during this special day. Her first task as DC was to inspect an earthquake mock drill, where she interacted with officials and reviewed disaster management preparedness. Later, she visited different branches of the DC office to understand their roles and operations. She also participated in a public grievance session, where she listened to complaints and directed concerned departments to resolve them. Calling it the most memorable day of her life, Anvi expressed gratitude to the district administration and said the experience gave her a new perspective on governance and leadership. "Today I got to know closely the work of a Deputy Commissioner, his responsibilities and the administrative process," she said. Deputy Commissioner Apoorva Devgan said the 'DC for a Day' initiative is part of the Mandi administration's continued efforts to motivate students and develop leadership skills, confidence, and social responsibility in them. The campaign follows earlier initiatives like 'Apna Vidyalaya' and 'Apna Pustakalaya'.
