Several families in Mailbazar, Helem woke up to the devastation caused by a
herd of wild elephants last night. Residences were destroyed and farms were
laid to waste as the elephants, numbering between 15 to 20, ran amok in
search of food.
The villages affected included Mail Bazaars and Telenis, among others.
Prominent citizens like Nanda Pradhan, Tonk Bahadur Pradhan, Sanjay
Pradhan, and Nand Hazarika were among those whose homes were vandalised by
the elephants.
There was also significant damage to paddy and rice crops. The victims of
this incident have demanded compensation from the forest department,
people's representatives, and the government.
They have also threatened to boycott the upcoming Lok Sabha elections if
their demands are not met.
