Mudigere: Forest officers narrowly escaped from a close encounter with a wild tusker during an operation aimed at redirecting the elephant back into the forest near Attigundi Hara of Megur in Mudigere taluk. This effort is a response to the growing incidents of wild elephant attacks in the Malemane, Megur, and Alekhan villages. The Forest Department's primary objective is to confine the wild elephants within the boundaries of their natural habitats.
The operation took an unexpected turn near Attigundi as the forest officers found themselves being pursued by the elephants. The officers managed to narrowly evade the situation, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of interactions with these powerful creatures.
A local resident from Mudigere village shared his perspective on the incident, stating, "A wild elephant, which has been spotted wandering around the village, actually chased the officers during their forest operation. It is crucial that the Forest Department promptly takes action to relocate the animal to ensure the safety of both the wildlife and the local community."
