Telangana Forest Dept Mulls To Install Microchip On Sandalwood Trees

The Telangana Forest Department is planning to install a microchip on sandalwood trees in Telangana. The decision was taken to prevent the stealing of sandalwood trees and illegal selling. The idea of using technology is inspired by Bengaluru Forest Department, which has implemented a similar microchip installation. Furthermore, the Telangana department will start this as a pilot project, implementing chips on 100 sandalwood trees, and once successful, in all.
