Nagaon, June 21: Two elephants, a mother and its calf, died after they fell into a pond in the foothills of Kondoli, 35km from Nagaon, last night.
The incident took place when the pair was proceeding towards the hill in a herd comprising 40-45 animals.
The calf was the first to fall into the pond as soon as they had crossed Titajuri Basti.
The mother jumped into the pond to rescue the calf.
The villagers moved the Kothiatoli forest range office this morning to inform the authorities about the herd of elephants, which remained there till morning.
