Terror Grips Villages as Elephant Menace Escalates, Mango Trees are Uprooted
Deccan ChronicleTirupati: Inhabitants of villages close to the Koundinya wildlife sanctuary and other forests in Chittoor district are living in constant fear of elephant attacks. Elephants have destroyed over 150 tonnes of mangoes worth around Rs.1 crore across mandals like Pulicherla, Sadum and Somala. Elephant herds have also ravaged 55 acres of tomato crop in Somala, Sadum, Pulicherla and other mandals of Punganur segment, where agriculture is the main means of income. Incidents of farmers, farm labourers and shepherds being injured or even killed in elephant attacks have increased in mandals like Punganur, Puthalapattu, Peddapanjani, Palamaner, V Kota and Kuppam. Farmers want immediate action from the forest department and district administration to address their issues and provide relief commensurate with the actual losses they incurred.
