JORABAT, Jan 17 - A herd of five wild elephants, which has been causing heavy destruction in three villages of the Hahara Gram Panchayat in the last few days, once again damaged over a dozen houses in these localities last night.
Villagers alleged that the Sonapur regional forest office has not taken any step to send the jumbos back into the forest despite being repeatedly informed about the stampede caused by them during the last few days in Malibagh, Nonke Bijni and Milanpur villages.
The villagers demanded compensation for the damage caused so far and also sought temporary forest camps to protect these villages from the marauding pachyderms.
