State Wildlife Committee member Sanket Poovaiah visited the Siddapur Community Health Center to inquire about the well-being of worker Dilip, who was injured in a wild elephant attack and admitted to treatment. He also obtained information from the forest department officials. Speaking on the occasion, he said that after a wild elephant that had been roaming around Ghattadalla for the past few days, a lone elephant attacked the worker Dilip, and the forest department officials and staff immediately took action to chase the elephant into the forest. Although the herd of wild elephants that have been roaming in the coffee plantations of this area for the past few days was chased into the forest, some of them have returned to the coffee plantation and are causing trouble. MLA Ponnanna explained that he is already working hard to implement the stop-release plan to formulate a permanent plan to prevent the encroachment of wild elephants. He said that the stop-release plan will be useful in preventing the encroachment of wild elephants in stages in the coming days. MLA Ponnanna said that he is working hard to relocate the wild elephants to a rehabilitation site. Sanket appealed to the workers and villagers of this area to be careful and vigilant when leaving their homes in the morning and evening and to be aware of wild elephants.
