Chitwan, July 8: The tusks of a notorious wild male elephant, Dhrube, would be trimmed short by taking him under control. He has killed 25 people so far.
Dhrube's tusks were also trimmed two year ago. A preparation has been made to tranquilize Dhrube and his tusks would be cut short as well as a new radio collar fixed on him, said Chief Conservation Officer of Chitwan National Park, Dil Bahadur Purja Pun.
Dhrube had killed two members of the same family on July 4 night. With this, he had killed 25 people, he added. Chief Conservation Officer Purja mentioned that they have been continuously monitoring Dhrube after the recent incident.
"We are in ready position. We will dart him once it is spotted, cut his tusks and fix new radio collar," he stated.
Preparation has been made to fix new radio collar after radio collar fixed earlier failed to provide information on time. It would be easier to locals to adopt precautions once the information about the entry of 'Dhrube' is received after fixing the tool.
Dhrube had killed Ashika Bote, 21, of Bharatpur metropolis-23 and her four-year-old son Bharat Bote on Saturday night (July 4).
Dhrube killed mom and son nine years later after killing Nepal Army Major in 2074. An order was issued in 2068-69 BS to kill this wild tusker after it started taking life of people almost daily.
