Decision based on the advice of forest veterinarian and experts
The Anamalai Tiger Reserve (ATR) administration on Saturday lodged two of its camp elephants in kraal (wooden enclosure) as they had been exhibiting reluctance to obey commands of mahouts and kavadis (assistant to mahout).
ATR officials said Suyambu, 23, a kumki (trained elephant) that is now showing reluctance to follow commands, and Ashok, a 12-year-old elephant that trampled its kavadi to death earlier this month, were lodged in kraal.
