Yet another incident of man-animal conflict has come to fore wherein a man was trampled to death by a herd of elephants in Assam’s Udalguri.
The incident was reported in Dharamjuli village in Rajagarh area in the district.
Sources said the herd of wild elephants went on a rampage in the village, triggering panic among locals.
During the ordeal, a man, identified as Ranti Rajbongshi, was killed.
It is suspected that the elephants strayed into the village in search of food as incessant rains and floods have majorly affected their food source.
