Lone Tusker Triggers Alarm

Siddapura, Sept. 10: A lone tusker caused panic among villagers on Thursday afternoon by wandering along a public road in the Koodlur, Chettalli, and Malakkodu villages, which fall under the Chettalli Gram Panchayat limits.

The elephant, which had been frequenting coffee estates in the Koodlur-Chettalli area and regularly moving along the roads, was spotted on the Koodlur-Chettalli main road around 12:00 PM on Thursday. Upon being informed by locals, forest department personnel from the Meenukolli branch visited the site and drove the elephant back into the forest. Forest staff usually track the elephant's movements and alert villagers to exercise caution during its daily rounds. Former Zilla Panchayat member Sunitha Manjunath stated that forest personnel also stand guard by the roadside in the mornings and evenings to ensure the villagers' safety. However, the villagers were alarmed when the lone tusker suddenly appeared during the afternoon on Thursday, she added. – Vasu
