This is now becoming common and elephants' plight is never bothered.

Many fail to understand that the Asiatic elephants' number is plummeting at an alarming rate and genetic base is severely affected owing to non availability of majestic bulls for mating.

The sex ratio in several reserves is adverse. Even in famous forests of Periyar, the sex ratio is 1:100 (for tuskers).

In many of events (such as the one shared) bulls get killed thus detoriating the genetic base.

We ought to start securing and re-establishing the corridors if elephants are to live in this country.

NGOs have their task cut.
