Hello
Four monkeys, one male and three females, were found dead 600 meters inside the forest from the Valayamchal Meenmutty road on August 27.
The accused set up cameras on trees inside the forest and used the visuals, including those of elephant herds and tigers, on the resort’s website and social media platforms.
Meanwhile, the Forest Department, with the assistance of HAWK, initiated training programmes aimed at preventing crimes in advance.
The rescue mission was arduous, taking the officials eight hours to navigate the forest, walking a seven-kilometer round trip.
Although the team spotted the gaur twice on Wednesday, they couldn't take the shot since the gaur was found to be stressed and the team didn't want to alarm the animal.
The RRT led by Forest Range officer, Palode Remya S is camping in the spot.
The snakes will be freed to the forest within one week.
It is after many decades that such a massive commercial activity is going to happen in the protected forests.
A three-member committee has to issue a fitness certificates for the elephant 12 hours prior to the start of the festival.
According to local residents, the elephant still remains in the vicinity of the forest fringe, frequently encroaching upon human settlements during the night.
