    Idukki (Kerala): Wild elephants continued to wander into human settlements and cause trouble in many parts of the high-range district of Idukki in Kerala on Saturday.

    Wildlife officials reported that in the early hours of today, a herd of jumbos that had been spotted wandering on estates had partially damaged a house in B L Ram village, Devikulam taluk.

    Friday, the elephants camped up at one of the estates for several hours, prompting forest officials to make several unsuccessful attempts to drive them away. A wildlife authority, however, reported that the animals did not return to the woods.—Inputs from Agencies
