Elephant enters roadside near Bhavanisagar: Fruit stalls damaged

A lone elephant entered the highway near the Periya Kallipatti forest area close to Bhavanisagar, causing panic. The elephant damaged fruit stalls and consumed produce while on the roadside.

Terrified traders and commuters fled the area. Traffic resumed after the elephant returned to the forest an hour later. The forest department has advised motorists to be cautious, noting that elephant movement has increased in forest regions like Thimbam, Asanur, and Thalavadi.
