HASSAN: Two men working in a coffee plantation were trampled to death by a tusker near Kadegarje village in Belur taluk on Friday morning.
Angry locals blocked the state highway connecting Belur to Sakleshpur and demanded that chief minister Basavaraj Bommai intervene to fix the problem. They claimed although wild elephants are raiding their farms and attacking villagers, the forest department hasn't attended to their complaints.
