Jharkhand: Elephant Herd Attacks Village; Six, Including Four of a Family, Dead
Six villagers died as an aggressive elephant herd targeted rice storage in Gomia block, prompting forest officials to establish a special round-the-clock monitoring team.
- Recently, Ujjwal confirmed that six people were killed in the village after a wild elephant herd broke down a home's entrance, prompting villagers to flee.
- The DFO said the herd attempted to break open a gate to reach stored rice, after a recent attack in Gomia block killed five people.
- Forest staff said the herd is aggressive and fast-moving, complicating monitoring as elephants have frequently caused havoc in Gomia block, Ramgarh and Hazaribagh.
- A team from Bankura was called in and local authorities requested permission to tranquillise the herd to keep it away from residential areas.
- The DFO told people they should stay inside pucca houses or shelter in nearby school buildings or concrete structures, urging residents to remain in safer places if they learn of elephant movement.
