Whom to blame for the death of pregnant elephant in Kerala?

News reports of the death of an elephant in the Palakkad district of Kerala reportedly after consuming a pineapple filled with explosives have gone viral and have caused massive outrage across the country. The initial reports had claimed that the elephant was deliberately fed with pineapple which led to greater revulsion and anger across the country.

Lieutenant Governor of Delhi has overruled the orders of the Delhi government that has restricted COVID-19 treatment in government and private hospitals only to the residents of Delhi. Earlier the Delhi government had passed a controversial order that resulted COVID-19 treatment facilities in the government and private hospitals in Delhi only to the residents of Delhi. The Delhi government had justified this decision by citing a lack of capacity for treating outsiders and hence, it was trying to prioritize the residents of Delhi while treating for COVID-19. But the lieutenant governor, in his capacity as the chairperson of the Delhi disaster management authority, has overruled the decision of the delhi government. He has stated in his order that right to health is integral to 'right to life' that has been recognized as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Indian constitution and so, this fundamental right can't be restricted on the basis of one's resid...
