Andhra Pradesh Launches Hanuman Project For Wildlife

On March 3, 2026, Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Forest Minister Pawan Kalyan launched the HANUMAN Project in Mangalagiri near Vijayawada to reduce human–wildlife conflict and bolster conservation. The program flagged off over 100 rapid-response vehicles (93 response vehicles, seven ambulances), four rescue-and-treatment centres, 19 rapid-response teams, raised compensation, and piloted AI-based monitoring with a Hanuman app and GPS tracking. It aims to improve emergency response and protect forest-border communities.
