The plan has called for a "multiagency strategy" to counter this. The action plan, drafted by a 12-member committee, said that by 2025, electronic eye surveillance in highly sensitive protected areas besides the use of "drone/unmanned aerial vehicle technology as an airborne monitoring/warning system" should be in place. Calling for priority action starting 2017, the action plan said the roads and railway ministries should be provided information on important wildlife, biodiversity and corridor connectivity values when projects are planned and "ecological solutions are adopted for infrastructure at this stage itself ". Recent green clearances given to National Highway projects cutting through major tiger corridors between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra had run into controversy. The subsequent reworking led to cost escalations. The draft action plan said the ministries of steel and mines should be asked to "exclude PAs (protected areas)/wildlife corridors from their mining plans." Further, it said the water resources ministry should "be convinced not to pursue big projects for irrigation in the area and to opt for minor irrigation relying on check dams, ponds, wells and other appropriate water harvesting units". The draft, which will be finalised after public consultation, said a strategy must be developed "for managing free ranging domestic animals such as dogs, cats etc in and around wildlife habitats". It pointed to reports of dogs killing threatened species such as black necked cranes, red pandas and blue sheep in the Himalayas.
