Wild tusker ‘Baahubali’ came out of the deep reserve forest and crossed Kotagiri Road.
COIMBATORE: The operation to tranquilize and radio collar wild tusker ‘Baahubali’ in the Mettupalayam forest range didn’t yield any results on Sunday, as it was dark and raining when the animal came out of the deep reserve forest and crossed Kotagiri Road.
D Venkatesh, district forest officer, had earlier told TOI that ‘Baahubali’ was sighted on a foothill and their plan was to tranquilize the tusker when the animal reached the plains or crossed Kotagiri Road. He had made it clear that they wouldn’t start the operation until the tusker came out of the deep forest.
