Two wild elephants on the prowl in fields in villages of Chittoor district

Tension gripped several villages of Pulicharla mandal with two wild elephants prowling the fields and moving close to human habitations in the last two days.

According to information, the wild elephants, which entered the Chittoor district from Tamil Nadu forests, slowly moved eastward and were spotted traversing through the rural areas of Kallur, Kongaravaripalle, Thudumvaripalle, and surrounding villages on Wednesday. The local farmers blasted crackers in an attempt to drive the jumbos away. Meanwhile, the forest officials are monitoring the situation.
