Elephant carcass found near Corbett with tusk missing

An elephant carcass, slit to pieces, was found in Uttar Pradesh’s Badpur area, a km from Corbett Tiger Reserve boundary, two days ago.

Its tusks were missing. The reserve management has stepped up vigilance across the boundary after recovery of the carcass. According to reports, the incident was reported on March 24 when a forest patrolling team of the neighbouring state found the carcass. The area falls outside Corbett boundary.

But, people close to the matter said both the states should take responsibility. “The animal could possibly be from Corbett.

And it’s an incident that exposes the poor security measures on the border areas.

They (officers) claim that joint patrolling is conducted with UP staff, but it is eyewash.
