The human-elephant conflict is continuing in Assam’s Goalpara district as an elephant attacked a village on Monday night.
According to sources, the incident took place at Dhekiabari village where the elephant came in search of food.
In search of food, the elephant destroyed houses of several families.
The elephant devoured paddy and rice in the barns.
