The recent death of three wild elephants by electrocution in Dharmapuri has shaken up the State government, which has started a crackdown on illegal electric fences and is expected to take some tough policy decisions. To start with, farm owners will be required to register and obtain post-facto approval for solar fences erected to protect their crops from wild animals.
In an official communication, the environment, climate change and forests department has asked the chief engineer of Agriculture Engineering Depanchayats apartment and district collectors to engage local and publicise the requirement to obtain post-facto approval for solar fences in English and Tamil newspapers before setting a one-month deadline for compliance.
While seeking approval, the farm owners will have to provide details of the solar fence design, specify what voltage is used and how it is regulated.
