The Kerala High Court has ordered authorities to ensure the monitoring of an elephant named KM1, found near Aralam Farm and adjoining tribal areas, due to its history of attacking people. The court stressed that every life is precious and must be protected through strict control and surveillance.
A Division Bench comprising Justice Devan Ramachandran and Justice Easwaran S. issued the directive while hearing a plea by Baiju Paul Mathews, who raised concerns about the elephant's presence in the area.
The court's decision comes as a response to the plea, highlighting the need for proactive measures to prevent any potential harm to the local population.
The matter has been scheduled for further hearing on May 20, with the court expecting updates on the implementation of its directive to monitor the elephant and ensure public safety.
