Tuskers cause havoc near Golaghat

From Our Correspondent

DERGAON, June 29 – Following continued depredation by elephants and

tigers, the public today locked the Quani forest beat office today.

According to information received, sustained intrusions by these

animals at Phalangani area under Golaghat district have created a

tense situation. A herd of wild elephants damaged the houses of

Ismail Git and Suresh Tanti of Soutali village under Quani Beat

office last night. Later in the morning the public went to the Beat

office and in the absence of the Beat officer, the people locked the

office.

 

On the other hand a female tiger with her cub attacked two persons

at Kuwatipara village in Phalangani area a couple of days ago. They

continue to prowl the area and add to the tension of the residents.

 

The public has made arrangements to kill the tiger in self-defence,

if necessary. The Golaghat Forest department has failed to control

the situation. In this regard, the DFO, Diganta Barbaruah has

adopted an indifferent attitude.
