Shillong, March 7: An elephant went on the rampage in West Garo Hills after being injured by villagers last week, killing at least four persons in the Selsella area.
Principal chief conservator of forests V.K. Nautiyal today attributed this “violent behaviour” to the agony suffered by the injured animal. The latest to be attacked was a villager of Ojangre yesterday.
Nautiyal however, said though the wild elephant is causing such a havoc because of an injury, it would either be caught or killed, if it is found to be a habitual killer.
Panic-stricken villagers have deserted their homes and asked police and forest officials to take necessary steps to put an end to the menace.
