Wild Elephants Ravage Crops

Gonikoppa Report, Sept. 23: Villagers in Mayamudi are in distress due to the menace of wild elephants.

A farmer named Aapattira S. Harish is suffering mounting losses as wild elephants frequently roam through his paddy field. The crop, spread across approximately three acres, had been growing well, but a herd of wild elephants has been spending its nights there for the past week. The elephants are grazing on the entire field, leaving the farmer with virtually nothing to harvest. It is disheartening to see the crop being devoured before it could even reach the grain-filling stage, leaving the farmer helpless.

According to locals, a herd of four elephants—including a calf—is causing the trouble, although the Forest Department claims there is only one elephant. The lack of adequate barriers allows elephants coming from the Thitimathi area to raid the fields directly. Residents have urged the Forest Department to respond appropriately to the situation.
