AHMEDABAD: During a recent meeting, state forest and NHAI officials have decided to set speed restrictions in the area where lions are found in groups along the coastal area in Saurashtra. The officials have also decided to put up signage and finalized a proposal to construct speed breakers in pockets where the lion movement is observed along the main road.
The department held meeting with the senior NHAI officials from Rajkot after two lions were killed in a road accident. It was also decided that NHAI should explore the possibility of building fence along the road, like the one on either side of the expressway.
"We had held meetings with the local villagers from the either side of the highway. They said that there should be speed breakers on the highway to reduce the number of fatal accidents," said a forester.
The officer said for construction of the speed breakers and putting up fences, the NHAI authorities would need to seek permission. It may, however, prove difficult in the time of parliamentary polls. The forest officials said that the issue could now be taken up only after the formation of the new government at the Centre.
In the mean time, the forest department has decided to post its trackers on the night duty along the highway so that they can keep an eye on the movement of lions.
Speed bumps at regular interval may be of much help as the trackers also cannot keep a watch on the lions' movement throughout the day. He said these are wild animals and the tracker would not be able to do anything if all of a sudden a lion comes onto the road. He said that the department will have to seek permission from the election commission and it would immediately begin constructing speed breakers.
