One of the elephants attacked a mini pickup truck, lifting its front, and pushing it backwards. As locals and authorities rush to the scene, the animals disappear into the woods. Sharing the video, an Instagram user, Nisar Kurikkal, wrote, 'It's a shocking video of group of elephants attacking vehicles and public getting panicked in Karuvarakundu, Kerala.'

According to a report in Onmanorama, the elephants wandered from the Parayinkunnu forest area and destroyed several vehicles, crops, and injured locals.
The report stated that one of the elephants fell into a well while passing through a populated neighbourhood in Akkarakulam. After several efforts by the forest officials, the elephants were driven back into the forest.
Early this week, a female elephant and its calf attacked a tractor trolley while Kanwarias were camping on the Dehradun highway. 'We keep raising awareness on the importance of conservation. Since the yatris play music on loudspeakers through the day, they did not turn it off, despite directions against it at night and near forest areas. A man was injured in the incident and taken to the hospital,' said Neeraj Sharma, divisional forest officer.
Haridwar police have issued clear instructions on noise control and have taken strict action against violators. Last week, more than three dozen DJ systems were sent back after being found in breach of the permitted noise levels, size limits, and regulatory guidelines.

Government Law College demands removal of GLC from social media channel
Mumbai, Aug 5 (PTI) The Government Law College, Mumbai, has dissociated itself from the social media channel 'GLC Law and Lore' and demanded immediate removal of 'GLC' from its name through a public notice. 'GLC Law and Lore' is a podcast initiative aimed at bridging the gap between legal education and real-world practice by connecting students, alumni, faculty, and prospective students of GLC. GLC on Monday issued a formal public clarification and cautionary notice to its students. The initiative is launched on Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, sharing content involving legal professionals, students, and alumni, and prominently carries the acronym 'GLC' in its branding, which is 'both unauthorised and misleading", the college administration said. 'While the content may be well-intentioned and may include individuals connected to the legal field, the use of the name 'GLC' (commonly associated with Government Law College, Mumbai) in the branding of this channel is unauthorised and misleading," it stated. The notice sought immediate removal of 'GLC" in the channel's name, branding, or any related communication, and to refrain from suggesting any formal connection with the Government Law College. The notice was issued to protect the name, reputation, and integrity of the college, it stated, adding that any continued misuse of the institution's name may compel the college to consider further appropriate action.

Elizaveta Krivonogikh: Who Is Putin's Art-Loving 'Secret' Daughter Living And Working In Paris?
Last Updated: Born on March 3, 2003, in St Petersburg, Elizaveta is a result of a suspected affair between Vladimir Putin and his ex-housekeeper Svetlana Krivonogikh in the early 2000s Elizaveta Krivonogikh – known to be Russian President Vladimir Putin's 'secret" daughter – is once again in the news. The 22-year-old Elizaveta, who goes by Luiza Rozova on Instagram, is presently living and working in Paris. In an apparent reference to Putin in a cryptic post shared from messages on her Telegram, she condemned the man who 'destroyed" her 'took millions of lives". WHO IS ELIZAVETA KRIVONOGIKH? Born on March 3, 2003, in St Petersburg, Russia, Elizaveta is a result of a suspected affair between Putin and his then-housekeeper, Svetlana Krivonogikh, in the early 2000s. Elizaveta works at art galleries in Paris after graduating from the ICART School of Cultural and Art Management in June 2024. She works under the name Elizaveta Rudnova. She is employed by two galleries – L Galerie in Belleville and Espace Albatros in Montreuil – both of which are known to curate anti-war and dissident art. While she has attracted her fair share of criticism for being connected to the Kremlin, there have also been those who have defended her. There has been much speculation around Elizaveta's parentage and this only increased after her mother Svetlana amassed a substantial amount of wealth following her birth. According to reports, Svetlana became a shareholder in Bank Rossiya and, by 2020, her net worth was estimated to be around $100 million – a possible result of being the recipient of hush money. The New York Post reported that Elizaveta's identity as Putin's daughter was revealed after an investigation by Russian media outlet Proekt in 2020, which cited her 'phenomenal resemblance" to him. While there is no name on her birth certificate, it does, however, mention 'Vladimirovna" that translates to 'daughter of Vladimir", it said. Besides, in 2021, late journalist and Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny had revealed her Instagram account. It depicted her lavish lifestyle and family's enormous wealth, but soon after the Russian military launched its military operation against Ukraine in 2022, her Instagram was suddenly deleted. Before the Ukraine conflict and her withdrawal from social media, she was known to have a high-profile lifestyle involving private jets, designer wear and exclusive clubs. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
