The Police and army have launched a joint operation to drive back 35 stary elephants from Amuru District to Murchison Falls National Park.
"We have embarked on an operation to drive elephants straying in Kochgoma and Alero sub-counties in Amuru district back to their conservation area in Murchison Falls National Park," UPDF northern region spokesperson Capt Ronald Kakurungu said last Tuesday in a statement.
The elephants recently crossed over into the new district.
Capt. Kakurungu said they are alerting the community through radio announcements of the operation so that they are not taken by surprise. The elephants have lately caused panic and fear in the District.
