DCF wants strict measures to be taken during Jamboo Savari on October 15
The Forest Department in Mysuru has sent a report to the Commissioner of Police, Mysuru, listing out strict measures to be taken during Jamboo Savari here on October 15 for preventing the Dasara elephants from getting distracted. This follows the incident during Srirangapatna Dasara when tusker Gopalaswamy panicked and swerved to his sides, sending the large crowds mobbing the jumbos scurrying for cover.
The incident has been taken seriously by the department which is taking all cautionary steps ahead of the Dasara finale confined to the palace. Though the jumbos won’t be stepping out of the palace and march amidst the crowds, the department still wants to ensure they don’t get distracted at any cost.
The department has recommended strict measures and sought police help in keeping unrelated people from flocking around the elephants.
