Chikkamagaluru: Wild elephant tosses man sleeping in coffee plantation
Chikkamagaluru: A wild elephant attacked a farmer sleeping in a coffee plantation near Hukkunda village in the Allur area of Chikkamagaluru district on Sunday morning.

The locals immediately informed the Forest Department officials, who rushed to the spot and took necessary action.
With increasing incidents of wild elephant menace in the region, villagers have urged the authorities to relocate the elephants to a different area.
