Guwahati, 30th July: In the otherwise serene village of Samaguri, peace is frequently interrupted by the imposing presence of wild elephants. For the past few months, four elephants have claimed the Gendhali Shintiya field as their domain, creating a mix of awe and anxiety among the villagers.
These magnificent creatures, emblematic of the region’s rich biodiversity, have become a significant source of concern. Their movements have caused considerable disruption, from trampling crops to damaging homes. Local residents, who once marveled at the sight of these giants, now live in a state of constant vigilance.
