A herd of wild elephants entered the agricultural land and reportedly destroyed standing crops in Tamil Nadu's Dharmapuri district on Friday, November 24. A video shared by news agency ANI showed a group of elephants walking on the fields.  It created quite an uproar among the villagers as they screamed from a long distance, trying to drive the mammoths away by clapping their hands. The agitated farmers have demanded compensation from the forest department after the incident. Responding to the matter, Divisional Forest Officer Appala Naidu told the media outlet that action is being taken to file a petition with the Hogenakkal area and pay compensation. "If there is any delay, please submit petitions to me and I will arrange for immediate relief", he added. Elephant Attack in Assam: Four, Including Two Minors Trampled to Death by Wild Elephants in Karbi Anglong District.
