THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In the wake of increasing incidents of wild elephants straying into human settlements in forest fringe areas, Kerala government has set up eight Rapid Response Teams (RST) to undertake urgent steps to check the menace.

Each RST has started functioning in Wayanad, Kannur, Palakkad, Nilambur, Ranni, Kozhikode, Mannarkad and Peppara, state forests minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan told the assembly today during question hour.

Work was in progress for constituting an elephant squad each at Wayanad and Nilambur, he said.
