Minister AK Saseendran said that the family of Ajeesh, who was killed in the katana attack, will be compensated with 10 lakh rupees. The minister also said that the government will provide a job to one of the family members.
Meanwhile, the locals responded by bringing the body of Ajeesh, who was killed in the katana attack, to the Sub-Collector's office compound. The protestors are demanding Rs 50 lakh to be given to the family.
Meanwhile, Collector Renu Raj informed that the elephant can be captured by drugging and transferred to the pumpkin elephant enclosure.
The forest department had explained the presence of the elephant two days ago but no action was taken. Kerala and Karnataka continue to dispute over provision of radio caller information.
Locals alleged that the negligence of the forest department led to the death of a young man. There was also a protest against the Wayanad SP. Locals stopped the SP's vehicle and asked him to walk to the hospital.
