Chhattisgarh's Korba administration is on a mission they hadn't quite anticipated, tracking the movement of wild elephants for successful May 7 Lok Sabha elections as the region is suffering from increased man-elephant conflict.
Five wild elephants entered the agricultural lands in the Aranmanai Pallam area in the Dharmapuri district of Tamil Nadu on Friday and damaged various standing crops.
In the wake of the rise in the man-elephant conflict in four districts of Karnataka, a meeting presided over by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday, resolved to constitute an elephant task force in four districts to check the menace of wild elephants.
