The wild elephants, a symbol of our country’s biodiversity, are increasingly under threat of extinction due to
human activities. According to the reports it has been reported that so far in 2024, approximately 50 elephants
have died due to unauthorized connection of the CEB’s electricity supply to fences or wires.
The Ceylon Electricity Board has already taken various appropriate measures regarding this illegal act, and we
also expect public support to protect the wild elephant resources of our country.
Accordingly, if you have any
information regarding unauthorized connections of electricity supply to fences or wires, I kindly request you to
inform the CEB immediately via 0112 118 767 or as well as with our Hotline Number 1987
We invite you to join us in preserving the wild elephant resource, which has religious and cultural significance
since ancient times, attracts and is loved by local and foreign tourists, and contributes to strengthening the economy
of the country.
