The Nilgiris: Forest Department wild elephants that tried to enter the Katteri Park near Coonoor back into the forest.
It has been two months since the operation of the NMR was stopped and the mountain train path appears deserted. As a result of this, the track is lush with reed grass overgrowth serving as a calling card to the elephants to feed on them. As a result, many jumbos have camped on the railroad.
Under the circumstances, elephants that were roaming near the Coonoor- Mettupalayam train path tried to enter the Katteri park. On noticing this, the employees of the park informed the Forest Department personnel who arrived at the location and drove the elephants into a forest area.
Since it is the season of jackfruit and pear around this time of the year, the elephants wander into areas that are dotted with these fruit trees. When the season ends, the elephants would move back to the forests in the plains, informed the Forest Department
