TURA, Feb 10 - A pair of wild elephants on Monday morning destroyed two houses while passing through some villages in North Garo Hills. The area falls under an elephant corridor and elephant visits are quite frequent.
As per reports, the two elephants came around 1 am and destroyed the house belonging to one Dipu Sangma in Wakso Asim under Bajengdoba Police Station area, before moving to a nearby village at Lower Mendal where they destroyed another house.
The elephants, according to locals, were still near Bajengdoba area and were spotted by locals near the Didram Bridge. �The two elephants were huge and were really scary. We are still fearing for our lives as they have not moved past Bajengdoba,� said a resident.
Despite the desperate situation of the villagers, the administration could not be contacted regarding what steps were being taken to tackle the situation.
