Elephant movement was noticed last night at Narangi Cantonment 222 Advance Base Ordnance Depot Area and all guard posts were warned to stop outside patrolling movements, a Defence Spokesman said.
At around 11 PM, Guard post No 5 heard a lot of noise and saw elephant herd movement in the area.
Early this morning during routine patrolling an army personnel noticed an elephant carcass entangled in broken electric wires probably causing it to be electrocuted, he said.
The incident was immediately reported to Range officer, Forest Department and Divisional Forest Officer for necessary action.
