The High Court stated that it cannot ignore the fear of the people and if the tusker is not relocated within a week, it will be transferred to Parambikulam wildlife sanctuary.
The High Court's verdict on the wild tusker Arikomban issue has put the state in a "crisis situation," said Kerala Forest Minister AK Saseendran on Wednesday.
Various farmers' organisations from the Idukki district organised a march to the Kerala High Court on Wednesday seeking justice on the issue of tusker 'Arikomban', the wild elephant, which roams around the Chinnakkanal and nearby areas in Idukki and has destroyed several human settlements.
