Kodagu, May 18: A fierce elephant fight took place at Dubare elephant camp in Kodagu district. The video of the incident went viral and claimed the life of a woman from a family who had come for a trip in the tragedy.
A woman named Jinshu (33) from Chennai is the unfortunate victim who got caught in a fight between elephants. Feeding elephants while bathing them is a fun activity for tourists. Similarly, Jinshu, who came from Tamil Nadu, went there to feed the elephants while they were bathing. At this time, two tamed elephants suddenly started fighting. There was chaos due to the elephants fighting.
When one elephant started attacking the other, the tourists there got scared and tried to run away. Amidst this chaos, Jinshu also lost her balance while running in fear and fell into the water. At this time, it was difficult to save her. Locals who noticed Jinshu who fell into the water immediately went into the water and tried to pull her out. Jinshu was brought out of the river and taken for treatment, but she did not survive. A case has been registered at the Kushalnagar police station in connection with this incident.
Minister’s instructions to maintain distance.
Take steps to allow tourists to wash their elephants, to restrict feeding them food such as jaggery, bananas, etc. and to ensure that tourists maintain a certain distance from wildlife. Suggested by Ishwara Khandre.
