A wild elephant, which had strayed into Chikkabetageri in Kushalnagar taluk
in search of food, fell into a slushy ditch on Tuesday night. It was
finally rescued on Wednesday.
The tusker was completely stuck in the slush and made several attempts to
pull itself out, but failed. On receiving information the Forest Department
staff reached the spot and launched rescue efforts. The elephant was
visibly tired after making several attempts to get out of the slush.
The Forest officials and locals first tried throwing some wooden logs into
the slush to help the elephant get a footing. When everything failed, they
finally brought in an excavator to help the elephant out of the slush.
Meanwhile, a tiger was spotted at the Mandemudi Kere lake near the
Subramanya temple in Harihara village of Ponnampet taluk around 8.15 am on
Wednesday. The tiger had come to the lake to drink water.
The sighting of the tiger has created panic among the villagers who have
informed the Forest Department. The officials have cautioned estate workers
to be alert till the tiger can be tracked and relocation measures taken.
