Minister moots TN's steel rope model to curb man-jumbo conflict in K'taka

But forest officials said the method is not new and was already experimented on a stretch of 5.5km in Nagarahole and Bandipur Tiger Reserves in 2022, but was not found useful as elephants had crossed them, and human death were also reported.

He cited the case of Tamil Nadu putting up steel barricades which cost Rs 45 lakh for 1km, which is far more economical than the rail barricades erected by the Karnataka forest department, which cost ₹1.5 crore per kilometre. Also, rails are not easily available.
