Two elephants were electrocuted at Nelyahudikeri in the district in the wee hours of Monday.
An 11 kv power line passes through the coffee estate owned by Prakash and Suman Changappa at Konerira in Nelyahudikeri. The power line wires were dangling after the branches of the trees fell on them.
When the elephants were passing through the estate, they came in contact with the wire. As a result, a male and a female elephant died.
The incident came to light when the labourers were working in the plantation in the morning.
