Plan Bee earned the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) the best innovation award in Indian Railways for the 2018-19 fiscal.
Background:
There are 29 earmarked elephant corridors with the operating zone of Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) spread across the north-eastern states and parts of Bihar and West Bengal.
But elephants have ventured into the path of trains even in non-corridor areas, often leading to accidents resulting in elephant deaths.
In this background, Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) implemented the Plan Bee.
Plan Bee:
Plan Bee is an amplifying system imitating the buzz of a swarm of honey bees to keep wild elephants away from railway tracks.
Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) officials said that a mix of Plan Bee and other measures have helped them save 1,014 elephants from 2014 to June 2019.
