A forest guard was injured in an attack by a tusker while he was
patrolling the Makoniya section of Amangarh Tiger Reserve on a motorcycle
on Friday evening. He has been admitted to a private hospital, where his
condition is stated to be stable. However, the agitated jumbo destroyed his
motorcycle.
Guard Akbar Ali said the elephant suddenly attacked him, dislodging him
from his bike. He managed to scramble and hide behind a tree, watching the
animal destroy his bike. He also called for help.
The foresters arrived and shooed the jumbo away.
Ranger Rakesh Sharma said, “A tusker is roaming in the Makoniya section of
Amangarh. It had earlier tried to attack forest staff but fortunately, they
escaped. We have asked our staff not to go patrolling alone. We are trying
to trace the elephant.”
