A wild tusker, locally known as Murivalankompan, damaged the protection wall of St. Thomas Church at Sinkukandam, near Chinnakkanal, around 4 a.m. on (March 28) Thursday morning.
This comes after fire swept through nearly 50 acres of eucalyptus plantation at Vilakk, near Cement Palam, on Wednesday night. According to sources, the fire spread after crackers were burst to chase wild elephants away from the land.
