In yet another case of man-animal conflict, a 45-year-old man lost his life
after being attacked by a wild elephant at Deepor Beel on the outskirts of
Guwahati.
The deceased has been identified as Kamal Kalita.
Sources informed that the attack occurred on Monday night in the Miki Para
area when Kalita encountered the wild elephant. Subsequently, the elephant
attacked him, and Kalita was trampled to death.
Kalita, a labourer by profession, was found dead on the scene. Forest
officials were notified and arrived at the location, sending the body to
Gauhati Medical College Hospital (GMCH) for a post-mortem examination.
Elsewhere, residents near Nilachal Hills, close to the Kamakhya Temple in
Guwahati, are on edge due to the presence of another wild elephant in the
area.
Forest officials believe the elephant may have strayed from a nearby
reserve forest. Efforts are currently underway to safely rescue the
elephant and return it to its natural habitat.
