Wild elephant keeps Wayanad town on toes for hours

Deccan Chronicle  

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Normal life was thrown out of gear in Mananthavady town of Wayanad District in Kerala on Friday after a wild elephant strayed into thickly populated areas of the township creating panic among the people. With the elephant moving around in the thickly populated areas of the township, Wayanad district collector Dr Renu Raj clamped prohibitory orders in Mananthavady municipality and Edavaka panchayat to prevent any untoward incident. After eight hours, the Kerala forest department issued orders to tranquilise the wild elephant. Since the elephant is in a densely populated area, it is difficult to scare away using firecrackers and chase towards the forest which is several kilometres away.
