Mysuru: The City Police conducted cannon firing test for Dasara Jumbos for the first time this year. The test was conducted to acclimatise the elephants to the bombarding sound that come from cannons.
All 15 Dasara elephants and 24 horses were brought to the parking space near Kote Maramma Temple where the test was held. While 13 elephants stood still, Prashantha, Gopalaswamy and Vijaya were frightened. Forest officials had to tie Prashantha to a tree as he was scared the most.
