Mutilated body of a middle-aged woman was found outside her hut in forests
of Dhamtari district after she was trampled to death by an elephant on
Friday night.
Two herds of 55 elephants have been venturing into the fields in forests of
the district, destroying crops and houses. They mostly camp near Nagri
block and Magarlod. On Friday night one elephant walked in Pardhi village
close to Magarlod, and destroyed small hut in middle of forest.
It is anticipated that the woman did not get a moment to understand the
attack before being crushed to death. Her disfigured body was recovered on
Saturday morning when the villagers alerted the forest department. The
woman, identified as Sukhma Bai, used to live alone.
Forest department has sounded alert in the villages to not venture in the
forest as it would aggravate the elephants’ mood.
