Karnataka: Wild Elephant Wanders in Kodagu District

On Saturday morning, a wild elephant wandered into the Karnataka district of Kodagu, frightening the locals.

Social media users have posted a video of the newborn tusker entering the Ponnampet area that was taken by the locals.

The elephant was observed returning the same way it had entered after making its way via the Kunda Road, the Forest College Paddy Field APCMS Garden, and the main road.

Elephants are commonly sighted in the coffee plantations bordering the nearby forest. The Forest Department acted swiftly, deploying personnel to guide the elephant safely back to its natural habitat.

In neighboring Kerala, multiple incidents have occurred where elephants entered residential areas. On February 17, a 50-year-old employee of the Kuruva Dweep eco-tourism center in Pupally, Wayanad, was fatally attacked by wild elephants.

Earlier, on February 10, a wild elephant entered a residential property in Mananthavady, Wayanad district, and fatally injured a 45-year-old man. In response to the death of a 50-year-old man attacked by wild elephants, leaders from different political parties initiated a twelve-hour protest in Wayanad on February 17 morning.
