A day after an autorickshaw driver was killed in an attack by a wild tusker in Munnar, plantation workers and residents staged several protests in the town on Tuesday.
The Left Democratic Front (LDF) observed a hartal in Munnar on the day in protest against the repeated attacks by wild elephants. The Congress and the BJP also staged protests against the Forest department, accusing it of failing to prevent the frequent incursion of wild animals into human habitats.
