Kadaba: Wild elephant menace instils fear among people


Daijiworld Media Network - Kadaba (SP)

Kadaba, Mar 8: Destructions and havoc created by wild elephants which keep visiting villages bordering the forests seeking food have become a routine for the people living there. The problem of wild elephants has become unbearable in places like Kadaba, Subrahmanya, Sullia and parts of Beltangady taluk. The people spend their time worrying about the prospects of being attacked by wild animals.

The forest department has failed to effectively block the elephants from attacking villages. They have used elephant-resistant moats, concrete blockades, walls built of stones and mud, and used railway tracks as fencing etc so far. But they have not yielded good results. Therefore the people urge the government to think of means and ways to browbeat the wild elephants.

Elephant-proof trenches have failed to stop advancing pachyderms. As the trenches get filled by dust or heaped mud falling again within a year, elephants find them easier to cross. The elephants also find out the routes being used by wild boars and follow the same path to reach villages. In some places, the trenches are not dug to the proper measures, while in some others, villages have filled the trenches to help their cattle to go into the forests for grazing.

    No need to look anywhere!! Just have a look near MRPL Few years back this place was green. Very attractive.fresh air. But now? You can inhale petroleum smell throughout that area. And many people already attacked with cancer. Who is responsible? Who got the job in MRPL? All keralites and north Indians We Mangaloreans are sick day by day

    Why should the elephants be taken to task? Book the people who have engaged in deforestation and usurped their property. Totally disagree with contents of the report.

    Its simple, Newton's third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. You spoil their habitat, they spoil yours.
