Staff shortage hits Rapid Response Team
In the wake of increasing wild elephant menace in the forest areas of Kasaragod, demand is rife for strengthening the Rapid Response Team (RRT) which has been struggling due to staff shortage.
In a recent operation, the Karadka block panchayat had to come up with special task forces, which included local people, in association with the Forest Department to chase away elephants.
Besides tackling elephant menace, the RRT also attends to rescue calls coming from across the district.
