Forest Department Launches Divisional Command Centre To Reduce Conflict
Eshwar B. Khandre, Karnataka's Minister for Forests, inaugurated the Divisional Command and Control Centre at M.M. Hills on December 3, 2025. The centre uses AI cameras, thermal drone surveillance and software to monitor wildlife, send real-time WhatsApp alerts, and track staff deployment; officials said similar centres are active in three other locations and a state-level hub is planned in Bengaluru. The deployment targets rising human–wildlife conflicts after recent fatal tiger attacks.
