The collaborative effort aims to drive away poachers and strengthen protection measures within the reserve. As part of this initiative, a flag march and mobile patrols have been launched.

Two platoons of armed reserve force (ARP) and Forest personnel conducted flag march and mobile patrolling inside the tiger reserve on Thursday.
