Kannur : There’s widespread panic in Kannur after a tusker stayed into populated village of Vayathoor in Kannur. Authorities gave holiday to educational institutions including Anganwadis in the region.
Ullikal, where the elephant is currently treading, is located 10 km from the forest border. The tusker walked into the town Tuesday midnight sending wrecking panic as it ran amok.
The Forest department and Rapid Response team have reached the spot. Driving the elephant back into the forest is challenging at this point, given that he’s currently in the midst of thick residential area.
