The vehicle would be used to shift the wild animals back to forest when they stray into residential areas. It would be used to rescue animals that accidentally fall into the gorges or open wells.
The vehicle, estimated at Rs. 14 lakh, will ply a six-member rescue team, a generator, lights, tents, search lights, ropes, binocular, walky-talky, cameras, helmets, and security shields, according to Suneel Panwar, Deputy Conservator of Forest, Wildlife Division, Dandeli.
