A 75-year-old woman was killed in an elephant attack on Monday in Idukki district of Kerala. According to the panchayat president, the region is a hotbed of human-animal conflict involving elephants, gaurs and wild boars The deceased was identified as Indira Ramakrishnan who resided with her husband in Kanjiraveli in Adimali panchayat on the Ernakulam-Idukki border. “My son called out to me so I ran to safety.” According to the panchayat president, the region is a hotbed of human-animal conflict involving elephants, gaurs and wild boars and blamed the forest department for doing nothing to stem the attacks. “There are no fences bordering the forest areas here and so wild animals routinely enter human settlements and cause havoc. Forest minister AK Saseendran, who has been under fire lately for the escalating conflict in Wayanad district where three people were killed in wild animal attacks in just two months, said the process of sanctioning the ex-gratia relief to the kin of the deceased in Adimali has begun.
