With no respite in sight from the incidents of elephant incursion in the
State, a herd of jumbos wreaked havoc in Kathasirsi village under Deuli
range in Mayurbhanj district.
The herd comprising of elephants of different age groups reportedly
ventured into the human habitat search of food and remained there leaving
people in a state of panic.
As per available information, the pachyderms damaged 10 houses at
Kathasirsi village. Meanwhile, one person also died in a wall collapse
incident that was a repercussion of the elephants causing havoc.
Forest officials have rushed to the spot and are trying to drive away the
pachyderms from forests located near the villages to prevent further loss
to property or lives.
