2 elephants carrying tourists fight in Jaipur's Amer fort


JAIPUR: In a scary incident, two female elephants carrying foreign tourists
in Amer fort started fighting with each other, creating panic and
commotion in the fort area even as no one was hurt.

First, elephant number 44 pushed elephant number 74 in front of the Suraj
Pole gate of the fort.

As the two animals engaged themselves in the fight, the foreign and
domestic tourists riding on it had a scary moment but somehow they
managed to get down. Even the Mahout were out of their wits on how to
control the warring elephants.

When the situation seemed under control and one of the elephants entered the gate and reached near Jalebi chowk, it again created commotion there with the panic-stricken visitors to the fort running helter-skelter to get away from the area.

The other elephants standing there for giving ride to the tourists had to be taken to a corner to avoid confrontation with the female elephant.

Elephants carrying tourists to Amer fort fighting with each other is not new. But certainly, a tragic incident was averted on Wednesday.
