The district administration issued prohibitory orders on 10 divisions of Sultan Bathery town in Wayanad (North Kerala) after a wild elephant sneaked into the busy municipal area. A pedestrian had a narrow escape from the tusker, which was later forced to flee to fringe areas of forests by officials. The sub-divisional magistrate has asked people to “maintain strict vigil and avoid night journeys” on two-wheelers and small vehicles.
