No electric fences were detected during a raid conducted by a team of Tangedco officials in some parts of the Nilgiris North Forest Division on Tuesday. Superintending Engineer T. Haldorai told The Hindu that the raid was carried out following the death of an elephant at Dhoddamanehaada, near Sholur recently. Farms, and buildings in and around Kil Kotagiri, Garikiyur, Mudiyoor, Kokohada, and Banglapadi were inspected by a nine-member team. Mr. Haldorai said that such surprise raids would be conducted in various parts of the Nilgiris frequently.
