Brief by Shorts91 Newsdesk / 12:40pm on 19 Aug 2024,Monday India
An elephant died in West Bengal’s Jhargram district after being attacked with spiked rods and fireballs by a local 'Hulla' team. The practice, intended to drive away wild animals, was banned by the Supreme Court in 2018. The incident occurred after elephants entered Raj College Colony, causing property damage and killing an elderly resident. Despite the Forest Department's intervention, including tranquilizer darts, the elephant suffered severe injuries from a fire-tipped iron rod. Conservationist Prerna Singh Bindra criticized the delay in treatment and the continued use of banned methods, highlighting the ongoing issue of human-wildlife conflict.
