Colombo – Sri Lanka Express The train killed an elephant and was released on Tuesday despite the security measures introduced after the worst railway accident in the country three months ago on the same route. Local officials said the young wild elephant that crosses the trail near Habarans were the same train involved in an accident from 20. February who killed seven elephants. After that collision, officials imposed speed restrictions on trains passing through elephant habitats.

In the accident, there were no injured passengers, which took place around 110 miles through the east of the east from the COLOMBO capital.

The railway authorities said the investigation is underway, and engineers were trying to retreat Koloko-battirals on the track after the pre-dawn collision.

The authorities previously announced changes to the drainage deficiencies and efforts to clean the bushes on both sides of the visibility for drivers, to give them more time to avoid hitting elephants.

Wildlife officials said that the trains in the last 17 years were killed 139 elephants, because the authorities began to collect such data.

The government also announced that 1,195 people and 3,484 elephants were killed in the last decade due to the deterioration of the conflict with the human elephant on the island.

The killing or harmful elephants is a criminal offense in Sri Lanka, which has about 7,000 wild elephants – is considered a national treasure, partly due to their importance in Buddhist culture.

However, the killings continue as desperate farmers who fight the elephants who attacked their crops and destroy their lives.

Many elephants were electric, recorded or poisoned. Sometimes the fruits on the field are used to dissolve animals, often resulting in painful death.

India, which has a wild elephant more than twice as much as Sri Lanka, also deals with regular Train collision-Pachyderm. In the last decade, India lost about 200 elephants for training the accident itself, and that is next to a large number of deaths from the wrong and accidental electricity.

The Indian government has introduced measures to restrict trains speed in earlier elephant corridors, but campaigns say that the rules were often poor.

Earlier this year, the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu became the first to initiate artificial intelligence and the machine control system that enable the death of elephants on the railways.
