Frequent elephant movement in MM Hills Sanctuary pose a threat to motorists
Mysuru: The frequent movement of wild elephants across roads connecting Kowdalli, Gajanur, Ajjipura, and other forest-fringe villages in MM Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, Chamarajanagar, has become a growing concern for motorists and a challenge to public safety. The forest department is actively monitoring the situation and working to steer the elephants back into the forests. Despite these efforts, sightings of elephants in the border areas of the forest is frequent, particularly in Hanur taluk. In the past month alone, elephants have been spotted over ten times along this stretch. Incidents reported include attacks on two-wheeler riders, a KSRTC bus that encountered animals near the Meenyam forest area, and reckless behaviour from some motorists who teased the animals and clicked photos at close range. Wildlife activist Mallesh said with elephants often straying onto roads in search of food and water, the highways part of elephant corridors should feature clear signage and speed restrictions. "The forest department must intensify its surveillance," he said. He also said steps should be taken to install speed governors and traffic monitoring cameras along the stretch. "Such measures will help forest department and law enforcement agencies identify speeding and impose hefty fines on motorists disturbing wild animals," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

"This would allow elephants a clear line of sight and pause before crossing, reducing the likelihood of sudden encounters with vehicles," he said. MM Hills Wildlife Sanctuary assistant conservator of forests Swapnil Manohar Ahire said the department will take all possible measures to prevent human-elephant conflicts on the highway at Kowdalli, Ajjipura, Nal Road, and surroundings.

Pilgrim rush peaks at Tirumala due to long weekend
1 2 Tirupati: Heavy weekend pilgrim rush in Tirumala extended waiting time for darshan at Lord Venkateswara temple to nearly 24 hours on Saturday. Serpentine queue lines became the order of the day with pilgrims forced to stand for hours for darshan, accommodation, tonsure, and even for getting free meals at TTD's Nithya Annaprasadam canteen in the hill town. The long holiday weekend started with Independence Day on Friday and Sri Krishna Janmashtami on Saturday, leading to the compartments at the twin Q complexes packed to the brim. Pilgrims were forced to wait in three to four kilometres long queues that stretched till the Octopus unit building near Gogarbham dam — one of the four dams that supplies water to residents of Tirumala and falls on the way to Akash Ganga. Angry scenes were witnessed outside Srivani current booking counters near Annamayya guest house as scores of devotees entered into heated altercations with TTD vigilance and security wing staff after the most sought-after VIP tickets got exhausted in no time due to the heavy rush as early as 4 am on Saturday. TTD additional EO Ch Venkaiah Chowdary monitored the pilgrim movement throughout the day and directed Annaprasadam staff to ensure continuous supply of free food, drinking water, and other refreshments to devotees waiting in the outside queue lines and inside the Q complexes.
