Wild elephants destroy crops at Denkanikottai
Staff Reporter
Hosur: Fifteen elephants, including five calves, strayed into Kurupurapalli and Masinaickanapalli villages on Saturday from Denkanikottai forests. The fields there have crops and water.
According to Forest Department sources, chasing the elephants remained a tough job as the pachyderms refused to leave ever since it had strayed into the fields.
In another instance, forest officials chased 12 elephants that had strayed into human habitations, near Rayakottai.
Straying of wild elephants into agriculture lands has now become a regular feature during the harvest season.
In the last one month alone wild elephants have raided sugarcane, banana, ragi, pulses and maize crops in Thally, Jawalagiri, Rayakottai, Neralatti, Agalakottai and Kelamangalam in the Denkanikottai and Anchetti Forest Ranges.
Farmers have blamed the Forest Department for failing to take any action against elephants.
The Conservator of Forests, Dharmapuri Circle, Mani, has deputed a team of Forest officials to chase the elephants back into the forests.
