Balod: As forests are decreasing and people are increasing, it has become common for wild animals to come to human settlements. Something similar happened in Dallirajhara early this morning, when two elephants entered the residential area of the city. The good thing was that three people passing through the same route ran away from there in time and saved their lives. This incident happened at around 4:44 am, when these two elephants were seen near the city’s Ghoda Mandir. Three people were going through the same route shortly before the elephants arrived. As soon as they saw the elephants, they got scared and immediately ran away from there. All this was recorded in the CCTV camera installed nearby, from which it can be seen what those people must have gone through at that time. There is an atmosphere of fear in the entire area now because of the elephants. The forest department has issued an alert in Dallirajhara and about a dozen villages nearby. The department has told people not to come out of their homes and not make the mistake of going near the elephants until everything is alright. Officials are constantly advising the villagers to be cautious.
