Abhimanyu will retire in a few years from now
With Dasara season round the corner the elephants are bracing for their annual tryst with the city. Though the Dasara High Powered Committee will decide on the scale of the festival this year in its meeting on September 3, the Forest Department is geared with the tentative list of elephants set to grace the festivities. The celebrations were scaled down last year due to the pandemic and all cultural programmes were cancelled while the elephants had their customary presence. However, Deputy Conservator of Forests Karikalan said that in case the festival is scaled down, 7 elephants will suffice and if it is a full-fledged event then they will have 14 elephants from a list of 17 of which 12 will participate and two will be on standby.
