“These (wild) elephants have been moving unpredictably across six mandals, causing fear and damage. We must act swiftly to protect farmers and restore balance,” Kalyan said in a press release.
The menace of wild elephants regularly destroying crops and occasionally attacking people is still prevalent in the southern part of the state.
Kalyan said the Kumki elephants will help tackle these problems by driving wild herds back into forest limits, especially in the regions of Chittoor and Parvathipuram Manyam districts. PTI MS STH SSK
