Mysore/Mysuru: Retired Forest Department Veterinarian and Deputy Director of Kodagu District Animal Husbandry Department Dr. B.C. Chittiappa, who spoke at ‘Mysuru Dasara Aanegalu,’ a series of webinars organised by the Forest Department, in association with Asian Elephant Support (AES) organisation, recollected his moments with this year’s Golden Howdah elephant Abhimanyu.
Speaking at the fifth series of the webinar, Dr. Chittiappa said that during a combing operation undertaken to capture wild elephants that had created ruckus in villages bordering forest area, two wild elephants attacked the forest team all of a sudden but Abhimanyu, who was part of the team, did not display any signs of fear and tackled both the elephants making them retreat.
