An elephant, said to be 15 to 16 years old, was found dead on Monday in the Palani range of Kodaikanal Forest Division. There was no evidence of hunting and it could have died of natural causes, said forest officials. The carcass was found in the reserve forest and a post mortem would be conducted, they said. A four-month-old calf of the elephant was found near the carcass. The forest officials said that the calf was under their supervision now. “We are taking steps to reunite it with the herd and hopefully tomorrow we’ll manage to reunite it,” said P. K. Dileep, District Forest Officer, Kodaikanal.
“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
