Elephant creates panic in Kovaipudur

Tension prevailed in some of the residential areas near Kovaipudur when an elephant strayed into the locality late on Sunday.

The movement of the elephant was captured in a surveillance camera of a house at 9.10 p.m. Most of the residents knew the presence of the elephant in the locality very late as they were glued to television watching the India-Pakistan cricket match. The elephant damaged the gate of a house and a few trees. Forest staff who reached the spot burst crackers to scare the elephant back into the forest around 1.30 a.m. on Monday.
