Bengaluru: Goa Forest Minister Vishwajit Rane on Saturday called on Karnataka Forest, Ecology and Environment Minister Eshwar B. Khandre at Vidhana Soudha, seeking assistance in tackling the growing menace of rogue tuskers in the coastal state. I have suggested that the matter be taken up in their cabinet and also discussed with their Chief Minister. The request from Goa comes months after Karnataka had handed over kumki elephants to neighbouring Andhra Pradesh in May. The elephants were provided in the presence of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Kumki elephants, also known as Kommi or Kunki, are specially trained to help forest personnel capture and control wild elephants.
