KAZIRANGA: A woman was killed in a wild buffalo attack in Changsari, located on the outskirts of Guwahati in Assam's Kamrup district.
The deceased woman has been identified as 38-year-old Lakheswari Murari, originally from Sonapur, who lived in Changsari and worked at a private factory. The tragic incident occurred in the Khoribari locality of Changsari, where the wild buffalo attacked her. The buffalo has since been trapped in a drain near National Highway 31.
In a separate incident, a rhinoceros attacked a 30-year-old farmer going by the name of Omram Gonok at No 2 Kohora Mohpara village in Kaziranga, leading to his death.
Meanwhile, earlier last week, a tragic human-wildlife conflict claimed a life near Rani’s Pitbari area in the early hours of Friday, when a wild elephant attacked and killed a 45-year-old man.
The victim, Baida Boro, a resident of Puranpur in Rani, had ventured into the nearby forest to cut straw when the elephant attacked him. The injuries proved fatal, and Boro succumbed to his injuries.
Officials from the Rani Police and Forest Department rushed to the site following the incident. The body was later sent to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) for a post-mortem examination.
In another similar instance, a 51-year-old man named Haren Murari was tragically killed by a herd of wild elephants in the Na-Beel area of Demow, located near the Panidihing Wildlife Sanctuary in Assam's Sivasagar district. This incident comes amid a growing human-elephant conflict in the state.
Locals reported that a four-member elephant herd, which had strayed from their natural habitat in the Panidihing Wildlife Sanctuary, attacked Murari on Sunday night.
The elephants, foraging in a paddy field, trampled him before tossing him aside, causing fatal injuries. Forest officials later arrived at the scene and took the victim's body to Demow Civil Hospital for an autopsy.
