Fresh reports of crop damage, tusker entering premises of food processing industry emerge
The presence of a 14-member herd of wild elephants, accompanied by four lone elephants in Palamaner and Kuppam forest ranges, continues to worry the farmers who have suffered heavy damage to their standing crops of tomato, vegetables, and paddy.
A fresh incident of crop damage was reported from Singasamudram village of Ramakuppam mandal, where a three-member herd had damaged vast stretches of vegetable crops, besides crashing to ground several coconut trees.
In another incident, a full-grown tusker, believed to be the fifth lone elephant under the sanctuary belt, had created a flutter on Sunday night by entering the premises of a popular food processing industry at Moghili village in Bangarupalem mandal. Crates containing tomatoes were trampled. While the staff on duty ran helter-skelter, the tusker reportedly had a free stroll on the campus till early hours.
