A tusker raided houses of farmers in flood-hit villages in Bankura and looted hefty paddy from the stack after midnight hours today.
“With competition for resources, (the number of) human-animal conflicts are increasing, and it is very unfortunate that around 500 people are killed in elephant attacks and 100 jumbos are killed in retaliation annually,” Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said.
The incident, according to official sources, took place on Sunday near Rasgovindpur of the district. The male elephant came from nowhere to push the bus with its trunk and tusk.
The department had decided to tag three problematic tuskers in Chandaka wildlife sanctuary, Khordha and Dhenkanal with radio collars to track their migration path in a bid to curb the incidence of pachyderm depredation in human habitation areas.
