Dhanbad, Nov. 13: The forest department is trying to create a “corridor” for elephants in Dumka, Chatra, Hazaribagh and Koderma forest divisions apart from six others in Singhbhum and Kolhan, but they are increasingly straying outside their territories like errant schoolchildren.
A herd of 13 elephants entered the coal capital a few days ago from Dumka via Jamtara. They travelled across the Barakar near Tundi-Nirsa border of Dhanbad and came into the forest areas of the tribal Tundi block.
A threat to the villagers, they have destroyed a dozen houses in Razamdih village till now. On their toes for nearly a week now, the Dhanbad forest department along with elephant experts from Bankura in Bengal is trying to drive the elephants out of Dhanbad and make them follow the corridor.
