India: Elephants go bananas

Five elephants have strayed into villages in Yasalur hobli in the taluk last week, causing damage to crops, including bananas.

As well as damaging crops the animals have also destroyed irrigation pipes.

The farmers have complained to forest officials, but they have stated tat they are helpless to do anything. Taluk APMC committee president H H Uday stressed the government to look into the matter seriously and hope to provide a permanent solution to their problems.
