The Army and the Wildlife Department have begun their respective investigations into the gun shots alleged to have been fired by army officers at the iconic tusker Gemunu at the Yala National Park, which is beyond the Army’s jurisdiction.

Elephant inside a jungle, and man inside civilized area.

I am sure that no one, including the police and the army, or even the park wardens themselves, are allowed to carry firearms into a wild life park. So, how come they were armed? Were they escorting some big shot?
saradiyal Monday, 19 August 2013 02:18 PM
There weren't any civilians to shoot, as they usually do?
Chinthaka Monday, 19 August 2013 02:30 PM
No. They were given weapon and put inside the jungle to protect people.
The tusker has threatened people inside a civilian vehicle and army fire into air.
He has done his duty.

Is Sri Lanka being governed under Marshall Law, that army personal have to be in uniforms when they are not on duty? If they were ON DUTY, what were they doing inside Yala and with kith and kin? WHO GAVE ORDERS TO FIRE? Are the forces a law unto themselves? via DM Android App

Bad luck ...will replace him with another Joker..

An elephant will kill only if it feels threat to its life, in self defense. The Army officer should not have provoked the elephant.

Army officer had the choice to stay out of the wild safari, Jungle belongs to animals.
brian Tuesday, 20 August 2013 12:00 AM

The Mighty LTTE kept these army quiet.
Hashhhsl Tuesday, 20 August 2013 07:37 AM
If the army behaves like this the rest of the world who did not beleive LTTE will also beleive that they went on rampage and killed all the innocent civilions. What surprise me is defence secretary has not done anything to decipline army.
Calistus Jayatilleke Tuesday, 20 August 2013 07:43 AM
These days the army seems to be on a shooting spree to keep themselves in combat mood : people in Rathupaswela , lovers in triangles and now animals in national parks.
Dee Tuesday, 20 August 2013 07:58 AM
they should build firing ranges inside the camps so that they can keep their skills polished. this is becoming dangerous day by day. next time they be firing at birds and fish as well.

R.R Rohan. Monday, 19 August 2013 12:40 PM
the country has plenty of drug dealers, rapists, murder's and many more, why not shoot them, these animals are much more impotant to us.
Publik Abilik Monday, 19 August 2013 12:00 AM
for the people who say "what about if Elephant killed army officer", I say "was the army officer sleeping not to see a massive Elephant sneak up on him?" via DM Android App
Kiris Baba Amaray Monday, 19 August 2013 01:17 PM
Nothing wrong indeed. So many precious poor lives had left us, killing or shooting an Elephant is no harm. Is the Elephant is important or a Mankind is important?
Mahinda Monday, 19 August 2013 01:24 PM
