… After 48 hours, administration got into the spot
… Intelligence failure says DFO
… If administration will not take any action to give compensation for farmers and to drive away the jumbos, then the people will solve the problem in their own way, told the raged villagers.
… Lack of Coordination between wildlife and forest official delayed the operation, as a result the jumbos became the victims of people’s anger
Berhampur: Two wild jumbos died in electrocution at Haripur near Rambha under Khallikote Forest Range area of Ganjam district on Monday.
