Elephants in India's financial capital Mumbai are to receive microchip 'licence plates' to crack down on begging and traffic problems.
The plan follows concern about the welfare of Mumbai's elephants, which are mainly used in religious functions.
Four elephants are legally registered in Mumbai, but locals believe up to a dozen could be living in the city.
The implants cost 200 rupees ($4.40) and will be ready to be implanted into the animals' ears over the next month.
