Teliamura, Nov 22: Wild elephants continue to haunt the residents of rural areas under Teliamura.
Recently, the jumbo menace has increased in rural areas and villagers are spending sleepless nights fearing elephant attacks. In many places, people are lighting fires and guarding the village at night.
A herd of tuskers strolled down to Jaruilong Bari area on late Monday night. Even as the elephants spared attacking households, the herd destroyed crops. According to the villagers, they had suffered huge crop loss.
Affected villagers also vented anger at the Forest department and said no one turned to help the distressed villagers – not even the ADS team volunteers.
