In a bizarre cross-border twist, Chandratara, a captive elephant, has become the center of a heated ownership battle between a Bangladeshi national and two Indian villagers.
Assam's elephant population has risen to an estimated 5,828, marking a modest increase of 128 individuals over the past seven years, according to the 2024 Elephant Population Estimation Report.
A villager has lost his life after being attacked by a wild elephant while attempting to take a picture on Good Friday morning in the village of Harigaon, under Garobadha area of West Garo Hills district.
