A dramatic video from the Devarabetta forest near Thally, close to Hosur on the Tamil Nadu–Karnataka border, has gone viral, showing a wild elephant repeatedly charging and ramming an iron rope fence installed by the Forest Department. The fencing was erected to prevent jumbo from straying into nearby villages and reduce human-elephant conflict.
