Wild tusker in search of food meets tragic end

1 min read

Dakshina Kannada: A wild tusker was electrocuted to death near Puthila in Bilinele in Dakshina Kannada. 

The elephant is suspected to have strayed out of forest in search of food. The trunk of the elephant came in contact with the power line that passes by the roadside resulting in its electrocution.
 
In all likelihood, the elephant would have tried to pull a branch of a tree towards itself. During that time, the branch of the tree might have snapped and fallen on the power line and subsequently the cable, ending in the tragic death of the pachyderm.
 
Meanwhile the environmentalists and animal lovers are blaming MESCOM for the incident.
