Mysore/Mysuru: Arjuna, the former Captain of the Dasara jumbo squad, who arrived in Mysuru on Sept. 1 to participate in Dasara festivities and had been for a tiger-capture operation in H.D. Kote taluk on Sept. 4, rejoined his team at Mysore Palace on Sept. 14.
Arjuna, the Nishane elephant, was taken to H.D. Kote on the night of Sept. 4 to lead the tiger-capture operation. This tiger had killed a 9-year-old boy in Kallatti village within the Metikuppe Wildlife Range of the Nagarahole Tiger Reserve. Due to this mission, he was unable to enter the Palace along with the other elephants, who received a traditional welcome.
