Elephant ran to attack forest department employees
On Monday, a wild elephant attacked the forest department employees in Arehalli village in Belur taluka in Hassan district of Karnataka. The incident created panic among the villagers and forest department employees there. The elephant suddenly wandered from the forest to the village fields, after which the forest department employees reached the spot to send him back to the forest.
Employees arrived to return to the forest
After the efforts of the employees of the department, a team of emergency work force (ETF) also reached an alert to handle the situation. When team members Prashant and Sunil tried to return the elephant to the forest, the wild elephant suddenly tried to attack them. The elephant tried to attack both of them running. In such a situation, both the workers could hardly escape.
It can be seen in the video that the race behind the two employees in elephant speed is trying to catch them. However, the quick efforts of the forest workers and the ETF team saved both employees narrowly. The video of the incident is becoming increasingly viral on social media.
Elephant attacks, appeal to take precautions
Forest, Ecology and Environment Minister Ishwar Khandre appealed to the people to follow the security guidelines of the department after cases of deaths of two people in elephant attacks in two days in Karnataka in two days. The minister’s office said that a young man died in an elephant attack in Belur Taluk in Hasan district on Monday, while a woman died in an elephant attack in Kamasamudra in Kolar district on Tuesday. Expressing grief over the deaths, Khandre said that the state government is standing with the families of the victims.
“The families of the deceased have been instructed to give immediate compensation. These incidents are happening in the morning and evening,” he said. He appealed to the people living on the banks of the forest to follow the guidelines issued by the Forest Department regarding the movement of elephants. He said that elephant-human, wildlife-human struggle is not a new problem, but it has been going on for years. He said that this problem has increased further due to decrease in forest sector and increase in the number of wildlife.
