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.
