An elephant died after it was hit by a Haryana Roadways bus near the forest
department barrier, about 200 m ahead of Bel Baba temple, in Haldwani on
Wednesday.

Officials said a herd of elephants was crossing the road when the accident
took place. A team of forest officials and vets from Terai central forest
department rushed to the spot to save the injured elephant, but it
succumbed to injuries.

medical team, shifted the elephant to the side of the road and started
treatment but the animal could not be saved."

Authorities said appropriate measures would be taken to prevent such
incidents in future.
