Animals damage crops, properties in many parts of Aralam
A team of 50 forest officials is continuing to patrol inside the Aralam farm to drive away elephants, which have damaged crops and properties in Muzhakkunnu village and many other parts of the Aralam panchayat. The forest department officials had a tough time when two elephants crossed over the Aralam farm through the Cheenkanipuzha river to enter areas in Muzhakkunnu panchayat. Roads were closed and the forest officials drove the elephants back into the farm. Kannur Divisional Forest Officer P. Karthick said that forest officials were on duty for patrolling and to ensure that the elephants did not venture out of the forest. Mr. Karthik said the department had submitted certain recommendations to the District Collector and the government in order to mitigate the problem.More Related News
