Four elephants found dead in Mysore forest

Special Correspondent

MYSORE: Four elephants were found dead under mysterious circumstances near Kappsoge in Nanjangud taluk on Wednesday. The news has alarmed conservationists and forest officials.

With this incident, eight elephants have died under unnatural circumstances in the region in the last four days alone, and more than 25 elephants have died in the last six months in the Mysore-Chamarajnagar forest area.

Though they are suspected to have been electrocuted, only post-mortem reports will reveal the exact cause of the deaths.

It is believed that the elephants may have met a grisly death on Tuesday, but their carcasses were found by the people of the village, which is about 50 km from Mysore, only on Wednesday.
