The Forest department has launched a drive to chase a wild gaur that attacked a man in a human habitation at Spring Valley, near Kumily, in Idukki on March 29 back into the deep forest.
According to officials, Mullamalayil M.R. Rajeev, 46, was returning home around 11 a.m. after attending a Good Friday procession at Spring Valley Kurisumala when a wild gaur attacked him. He was grievously injured in the attack. He was initially admitted to a private hospital at Kumily and later shifted to a private hospital at Pala.
“The man is under ventilator support in the hospital,” said a Forest department official.
