Incident sparks protest by villagers near Nagarahole Tiger Reserve in Karnataka
A farmer was killed by a wild elephant which was foraging outside the forest boundaries in the Veeranhosahalli range of Nagarahole Tiger Reserve in Karnataka triggering protests by the local community.
The incident took place at Kolavige village in Hunsur taluk late February 2 night about 1 km from the forest boundary. The victim, Rajesh, 49, had gone out to pick up fodder for his cattle when an elephant, which had strayed out of the forest, attacked and trampled him.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
