Sullia, Jan 7: A lone tusker entered a farm near Kemanaballi of Jalsoor village in the taluk on Friday, January 5 in the night and destroyed the crops.
The elephant entered the farm belonging to Jayananda and uprooted six coconut trees. It also demolished a memorial that was built on the farm land in memory of Jayananda's late father.
The tusker destroyed the fenced barbed wire of the farms of Sadananda Maniyani and Jyoti.
The same elephant had caused widespread destruction at Panjikallu, Muroor and Bellippady areas earlier.
Later it roamed around Kanakamajalu, Derkaje, Kudkuli, Kapila, Mugeru, Pernaje, Perlampadi and Koltige. Now it has been located in Kemanaballi.
Locals say that the elephant is camping near Kemanaballi Falls during the day time before it invades the farms in the night.
