Puttur : An angry elephant gave tense moments for people of Puttur, while also proved a good entertainment to many after it invited trouble by failing to heed to its mahout while being taken towards Sullia from Uppinangady in lorry. The elephant Lakshmisha of the Shiroor Mutt, was being taken care of one Karunaker of Uppinangady after it was shifted from Udupi a few years ago, owing to the trouble it created in Uduoi and Bellare earlier.
Lakshmisha initially put his trunk inside the driver’s cabin and then tried to show his anger towards the wooden logs inside the lorry. Though he was given food, that did not cool him and finally water was sprayed by the fire service personnel.
Even barricades were put up from preventing people from going towards the elephant. Veterinarians from Madikeri and Trissur are expected to arrive to inject tranquilizers to angry Lakshmisha and bring him under control.
