GUWAHATI: A herd of wild elephants went on a rampage and trampled two people to death in a tea plantation in Assam, wildlife officials said on Thursday.
A forest official said that in the past two days, a herd of about a dozen elephants has killed two workers of a tea garden in Hautoli, about 250 km from Guwahati, and wreaked havoc in the area.
"The elephants had come from an adjoining hill in search of food and in the process trampled the two tea garden workers," said the official.
Forest rangers and local residents have been using firecrackers and beating drums and cymbals to scare away the herd that has been roaming in the area for the past one week.
