Karnataka Forest Department launched an Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) in Bengaluru to manage man-animal conflict. This hub connects 11 Divisional Command and Control Centres across the state, utilizing technology for monitoring, evaluation, and quick response. The ICCC aims to reduce response times and enable preventive actions by tracking patrols, sensitive areas, and collared elephants. Citizens can report grievances via the helpline number 1926. The initiative seeks to enhance forest protection in Karnataka's 43,000 sq km forest area.
