Chennai, 15 May (H.S.) : The mahouts working at the Theppakadu Elephant Camp in Tamil Nadu’s Mudumalai Tiger Reserve have finally received long-awaited housing facilities. The camp, which is a popular tourist destination, has been home to many elephants and their caretakers, the mahouts, for decades.

The new housing facilities have brought relief to the mahouts, who have been demanding better living conditions for years. The houses have been constructed as part of an initiative to improve the living standards of the mahouts and their families.

The mahouts play a crucial role in the care and management of the elephants, and their work is physically demanding and requires dedication. The provision of housing facilities is a significant step towards recognizing their contributions and improving their welfare.

The development has been welcomed by the mahouts and their families, who have expressed gratitude to the authorities for addressing their long-standing demand.

The improved living conditions are expected to boost the morale of the mahouts and enable them to continue their important work with the elephants.
