Mysuru: A wire that was pulled to set up serial lights on Sayyaji Rao Road obstructed the smooth movement of Howdah Elephant Arjuna, who was carrying the wooden howdah for the first time this morning.
The wooden howdah touched the low-hanging wire and prevented Arjuna from moving further on the Jumboo Savari route. Due to the impact, Arjuna turned to one side and stood on the middle of the road while Arjuna’s mahout sensed that there is something wrong. As Arjuna pushed to go ahead, the wire snapped and the march continued. The incident occurred on Sayyaji Rao Road near RMC Yard where the elephants were moving along the road as part of the rehearsals.
