‘The pachyderms could get injured’
The Madras High Court on Thursday directed the Forest Department not to use firecrackers on elephants to chase them back into forests since there is always a chance of the pachyderms getting injured.
Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy issued the direction in a case filed by the People for Cattle in India, complaining about the treatment meted out to an elephant which strayed into Coimbatore from Kerala last year.
Petitioner’s counsel Kaushik N. Sharma told the court that the ‘makhna’ from Kerala had entered the forest area in Coimbatore last August after suffering severe injuries in its mouth after biting a coconut or a fruit laden with explosives.
