<p>The Forest department had installed radio collar to check the movement of two wild elephants. This has created fear among the people residing in Jungle haadi. <br /><br />About 20 elephants had destroyed coffee estates in Aldoor-Elasoor area in Hassan in the first week of June. Accordingly, the forest department caught two elephants on June 6 at Aldoor. <br /><br />Under the guidance of expert Ajay Sardesai, a team of experts led by Mohanraj put radio callar on the elephants to trace its movements through satellite, to check whether it returns to its territory. <br /><br />The two elephants were shifted to Bandipur National Park. One of the elephant had reached Ane Chowkur near Thithimathi by crossing Lakshmanatheertha river now. <br /><br />The elephant was traced at Ayirahosalli on June 30. This has been found by WWF’s Tejaswi through radio collar tracking. <br /><br />The forest department officials once again chased the elephant to the forest. It was traced near Jungle haadi on Sunday evening. <br /><br />The radio collar helps in getting minute details on the movement of the elephant. It can travel 60 to 70 kms. <br /><br />Elephants are very sensitive animals and they can track the presence of its herd from a long distance, says the experts. <br /><br />The elephant had some hindrance in its movement in Thithimathi. Otherwise, it would have reached Aldoor through Kushalnagar forest few days ago. <br /></p>
