The death of three elephants in three days proves that the Chhattisgarh government is not serious in protecting the animal, Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly Dharamlal Kaushik said on Monday, and called for a special drive against poachers.
In a video message to the media, Kaushik said within three months more than a dozen elephants have been electrocuted or have died due to other reasons in the state. Who is responsible for the unending deaths, he asked.
He demanded that if poachers are active, then a special drive should be organized to take stern action against them.
