Siliguri: Wild elephant goes on rampage, damages 100 houses

Jumbo menace in Siliguri

New Delhi, February 10, 2016 | Posted by Bijaya Kumar Das | UPDATED 17:06 IST
A wild elephant, which strayed into the residential area of Siliguri in West Bengal, damaged around 100 houses on the Sevoke Road area of the town on Tuesday. No one has been injured in the incident.

There was little that the locals could do except look on as the elephant went on a rampage in the nearby market leaving many parked vehicles damaged. The elephant also knocked down many sheds in the residential area around Sevoke Road, Siliguri. The elephant is reported to have strayed from its herd and lost its way from the nearby jungle into the town. It also bore injuries on its trunk and back, possibly suffered even as it knocked down some tin-roof sheds.

Wild elephant herds have been spreading terror across more than three hundred villages in three districts of the state.

Forest officials had to be called in to subdue the elephant and transport it out of the town. The forest officials with the help of the fire brigade and the police managed to tranquilise the elephant and remove it.

Right from West Midnapore to Bankura to Purulia, the raging man-elephant conflict has wreaked havoc in the lives of the people and is becoming a major cause of concern.
