The forest department personnel of the Kuppam range in Chittoor district have been on alert for the past fortnight as two wild tuskers from the Kolar division of Karnataka are giving sleepless nights to farmers.
Crop damage
The duo entered the district at Ramakuppam forest enclosure after negotiating the rocky terrain of the KGF belt. As a rule, tuskers damage crops on their way from one place to another, but in the present case, the two elephants are camping inside the forest in the daytime and raiding crops at night. This has made it difficult for officials to keep a track of their movements.
