News India Live, Digital Desk: The soul trembles after hearing this news. It is being told that this elephant had got separated from its herd or was very angry for some reason. As it moved towards the residential area, a stampede broke out, but four people unfortunately became victims of its wrath.
An atmosphere of mourning and fear in the village
There is mourning in the village after the incident. The families who have lost their loved ones are in bad condition, crying. Local people say that they had informed the administration earlier also about the movement of elephants, but perhaps steps were not taken in time. Now the situation is such that as soon as the sun sets, people are hiding by closing the doors of their houses. The fear is so great that no one is able to muster the courage to go to the fields alone.
Forest Department team on the spot
The administration has lost sleep after the accident. Forest Department team and local police have reached the spot. Efforts are being made to drive that elephant back towards the forest with the help of torches and drums so that no further untoward incident happens. The government is also talking about compensation for the families of the deceased, but the truth is that money cannot be the price of someone’s life.
What precautions should you take?
Such incidents are increasing in Jharkhand. If you also live in an area where forests are nearby, then keep a few things in mind:
- Don’t tease the elephant: Often people go near the elephant or throw stones in order to make a video or drive it away. This is the biggest mistake.
- Torch or fire: If an elephant comes to the village, try to keep it away by making noise and lighting fires, but from a safe distance.
- Be alert at night: Avoid traveling alone at night on roads adjacent to forests.
For now, we pray to God that the souls of the deceased rest in peace and their families get the strength to bear this loss. This incident is a warning that we need to learn to respect nature and the ways of animals.
