Here are the important developments in Kerala to watch out for today
- Kerala Assembly: Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran will move a resolution in the House urging the Central government to take steps including amending the prevailing laws to prevent human- animal conflict.
- General discussion on the budget to be concluded.
- The tiger that was tranquillized by Forest officials after it was found entangled in a barbed wire fence at Kottiyoor in Kannur yesterday died while it was being transported to the Thrissur Zoo.
- Forest officials today resumed the operation to dart and capture the wild elephant Belur Makhna that killed a farmer in Wayanad last week. The terrain and movement of the tuskless elephant through dense forest made it difficult for the rapid response team to locate and dart the animal. Meanwhile, public unrest is mounting over the delay in capturing and relocating the elephant.
