The conflict between man and elephant in Assam is not a new problem. Since ages, the wild elephants have been destroying houses and attacking human, killing many.

Besides, every year in the monsoon, due to the flood, the animals from the forest areas comes out in order to save their lives and invades the human habitation creating destruction.
