Action plan chalked out to end man-animal conflict: forest dept. official
Divisional Forest Officer (Chittoor West) S. Ravi Shankar announced that an ex-gratia of ₹5 lakh each was provided to the family members of three victims who had died in the attacks of wild elephants in Kuppam and Chittoor ranges in recent months.
Speaking to the media here on Wednesday, the DFO said that Panchayat Raj Minister Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy had distributed the cheques to the family members of Sonia and Narayanamma of Kuppam range, and Satish Raju. While the two women farmers were trampled to death in their fields by the crop raiding elephants, the third, a driver with the forest department at Chittoor range, was killed by a lone elephant after a forest jeep was attacked.
