Assam: Elderly Woman Killed In Elephant Attack In Tamulpur

TAMULPUR: A 62-year-old woman identified as Taramani Barman tragically lost her life after being attacked by a herd of wild elephants in Daorizer village, Tamulpur, Assam, near the Indo-Bhutan border. The incident occurred while Taramani was sleeping, and a wild elephant allegedly destroyed her house before attacking her.

Nine years ago, Taramani's husband, Punil Barman, was also killed in a similar attack by a wild elephant. After the incident, forest officials were alerted, and efforts to drive the herd back into the forest are ongoing.

Earlier this month, two women were also killed in a similar attack in Udalguri, Assam. The victims, Lalmek Karmakar (60) and her daughter Apu Karmakar (35), were found dead by locals. The attack took place in the Dimakuchi area, where a herd of elephants entered the village in search of food.

The elephants reportedly destroyed the house where the two women were sleeping and trampled them to death. Tragically, the two women died before any rescue or medical help could reach them. These incidents highlight the ongoing dangers posed by wild elephants in Assam and the urgent need for improved safety measures.

In a separate incident, a wild elephant, separated from its herd, created panic in the greater Charagua area near Demow. According to information received, the wild elephant broke the houses of Ramesh Gowala and Lal Telenga along with two granary houses. It also destroyed agricultural fields.
