Human-Elephant Conflict Worsens in Sherpur Border
The longstanding human-elephant conflict in the border areas of Sherpur shows no sign of abating, with recent incidents indicating a sharp escalation. In search of food, herds of wild elephants are descending from the hills into human settlements, destroying crops, damaging homes, and in some cases killing people by trampling or throwing them. In retaliation, local residents, struggling to protect their lives and property, have resorted to violent measures against the elephants.
