Man-elephant conflicts are escalating in the Boko area of the Kamrup district in Assam. Wild Elephants are continuously causing havoc in Pakharapara, Dakuapara, Chandmari, Mouman, Tangabari, Sakhati, Jongakhuli and many other nearby villages under the Boko revenue circle. The affected area falls under the jurisdiction of the Singra (Boko) Forest Range of the West Kamrup Division.

A second elephant attack has taken place in Garo Hills, in just a span of three days, with another villager trampled to death after coming face to face with the wild beast in the border area of Dalu in West Garo Hills district on Thursday morning.
