Elephant menace surfaced once again in Karnataka’s Mysuru on Monday, with a
giant tusker creating panic among residents as it emerged from the forest
and went on a rampage.

The incident was reported from Budanur in HD Kote taluka. Authorities said
that the elephant had strayed into the village from the Nagarhole Reserve
Forest, and villagers, who were all set to go to their fields, suddenly
found the huge jumbo in their way.

As villagers tried to chase the elephant out of village, the animal got
annoyed and started chasing them instead, and went on a rampage, destroying
crops, damaging vehicles, roofs of houses, and bullock carts.

The cattle and livestock had a narrow escape when it passed very close to
them while being chased. Forest Department staff rushed to the spot and
tried to force it back into the forest by firing in the sky.

After hours, the villagers and forest officers finally managed to send it
out of the village into the forest.

Elephants have surfaced at various locations in Mysuru district and the
people have been demanding a permanent solution to their menace.
