In the Nilgiris district, teenagers are consumed by the selfie craze, oblivious to the dangers that elephants and other wildlife face when crossing the road. Environmental activists have urged the Forest service to take immediate action to avoid this. Thousands of tourists from tamil Nadu and other states visit the Nilgiris district every day now that summer has arrived. Tourists racing by, taking selfies with wildlife, feeding, photographing wildlife, throwing garbage on the road, and parking their vehicles in the woods in various ways.

The ten wild elephants who arrived in the Nilgiris last week from Mettupalayam in coimbatore district tented around the Kallar, Burliaru, and Rannimedu areas for food and water. They've set up camp in places like Blackbridge, Glandale, and Runnimedu. Elephants cross the Coonoor-Mettupalayam road on occasion. Motorists should be cautious, especially in the vampire black bridge region, because there is a tendency to cross the road and wander on main roads, according to the forest service. Meanwhile, on Salas Road yesterday, elephants attempted to cross the road. The young people in the van took a selfie in front of the elephant herd at that moment. As a result, the infuriated elephants dashed towards the youngster.
