A day after a 42-year-old man was trampled to death by a wild elephant at Wayanad’s Mananthavady, the Kerala government on Sunday decided to form an inter-State coordination committee to monitor the movement of wild animals across State borders.
Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran, after an evaluation meeting held here, told the media that Wayanad district, which has been witnessing more man-animal conflicts recently, will receive two more Rapid Response Teams (RRT) in addition to the one it has now.
