Unlock these with Subscription A wild elephant has damaged a section of the elephant-proof wall under construction in Aralam Farm, even as the Forest department has intensified patrolling in neighbouring Ayyankunnu following repeated elephant incursions into human settlements and farmlands. The elephant-proof wall is being constructed to prevent wild elephants from straying into inhabited areas.
