A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Monday directed the Additional Chief Secretary, General Administration to file within ten days a plan detailing immediate short-term steps that will be taken to prevent the straying of wild animals into human settlements in Wayanad district.
The Bench comprising Justice A. Jayasankaran Nambiar and Justice Gopinath P. also ordered that the short-term plan should be the one that will be implemented within a month. This will be in addition to long-term measures suggested by the Committee of Experts (CoE) that will be implemented simultaneously in a phased manner.
The court passed the order at its special session held on Monday in the wake of the death of a person at Wayanad in an attack by a wild elephant.
