🔰Chirundu Faces Imminent Disaster Due to Human-Animal Conflict :

Chirundu site and service area is a key entry point for wild elephants.

Recent months have seen the world’s largest land mammals roaming freely in the site and service area, near the famous roads leading to famous sand pits commonly known as Zambala.

The elephants are drawn to the sweet, sour taste of masau fruits.

Local residents are exercising extreme caution and calling for measures to control the wild elephants.

There is an urgent appeal to local authorities to intervene and manage the elephants, which are increasingly approaching human settlements.

If drastic measures are not taken, it is highly likely that someone will be attacked by the animals, as more elephants are seen near Chirundu site and service homes, cautions a Chirundu resident.

Mr Saihemba added that the road works will be done in all the 12 wards, with the local authority to commence works with Kadunga and extend the grading to other parts of the district.

Eng. Saihemba revealed that government released K3.2 million (three million, two hundred thousand kwacha) to Chirundu Town Council for fuel and lubricants for the machinery carrying out the works as a maintenance grant under the presidential initiative program to rehabilitate feeder roads.

He has however implored, community members to support the project by creating a conducive working environment for CTC engineers and workers to ensure its timely completion within the timeframe.
