Farmer trampled to death by jumbos
Tirupati: A 55-year-old farmer, who was sleeping in his agricultural field, was trampled to death by a herd of tuskers near Nagavandlapalli village in Irala mandal of Chittoor district in the early hours of Wednesday. The victim was identified as Ganesh. Locals said he went to sleep at his agricultural farm on Tuesday night and was found dead the next morning following a trail of destruction left behind by the marauding tuskers. The perennial man-animal conflicts in several parts of Chittoor and Tirupati districts have left behind a trail of destruction and resulted in frequent deaths of farmers and locals in the last two years. In April, 65-year-old Siddaiah from Dasarigudem village in Chinnagottigallu mandal was killed in a similar manner. In December last year, a 60-year-old farmer, identified as Sankarappa, was killed in a tusker attack near Kuppanapalli village in Byreddypalli mandal. In October, 55-year-old Raja Reddy was trampled to death by a herd of 15 tuskers near Kothapalli in Pileru mandal. In June last year, a wild tusker killed 50-year-old Kanna Naik near Digiva Thanda in Ramakuppam mandal of Chittoor district. A month before, in May, another lone tusker was responsible for the death of 50-year-old G Chinnaiah near Thavanampalle in Chittoor district. The AP forest dept brought the famed Kumki elephants from Karnataka last month to check the marauding tuskers.
