In a tragic turn of events, a family in Saldiha village located in Odisha's Bargarh district was attacked by a wild tusker while they were sleeping outside their home on a humid night. The tusker, known for its aggressive nature, trampled three members of the family to death and left three others with severe injuries.
The family, identified as the Barihas, had no idea that their peaceful slumber would turn into a nightmare when the tusker suddenly charged at them. The victims included Bipin's wife and their two young children - a three-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter. Bipin, his mother, and a seven-year-old boy also suffered injuries in the sudden attack.
The entire village was shaken by the incident and the news quickly spread, prompting forest officials to rush to the scene. However, this tragedy has sparked anger among the villagers towards the forest department, as they believe that the officials did not take any action even after being alerted about a herd of elephants in the nearby village a few days ago.
Meanwhile, in another part of the state, a herd of 27 elephants from Jharkhand has been causing chaos and fear among the residents of five villages in the Karanjia block of Mayurbhanj district. The villagers have reported that the elephants have been destroying their crops and roaming freely in the nearby forest for the past three days.
In response, the angry villagers have driven the herd away to the Badadeuli forest. However, the forest department is closely monitoring the situation and keeping a close eye on the movements of the herd to ensure the safety of the villagers.
The recent incidents involving wild elephants have left the villagers in both Bargarh and Mayurbhanj district in a state of shock and fear. It is crucial for the authorities to take necessary measures to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future and ensure the safety of both humans and animals in the region.
