The Kerala HC stopped the forest department’s ‘Mission Arikomban’, which had been planned so as to tranquilise and capture a wild elephant that has wreaked havoc in some areas of Idukki district
A road connecting Tamil Nadu and Kerala, passing through Marayoor area in the high range district of Idukki was blocked for around an hour. This was not for any VIP movement, but as a result of an elephant giving birth in the middle of the road.
