The forests of Saranda are witnessing a series of heartbreaking events as the deaths of innocent elephants continue to mount. Following the passing of a wounded young elephant on Thursday night, the villagers observed a day of mourning, with no cooking fires lit. This marks the third death in the area, casting a deep shadow over the once vibrant jungle.
Saranda, once echoing with the majestic strides of elephants, is now becoming a witness to the tragic deaths of these innocent animals. An elephant succumbed to its injuries in the village of Serengsia on Thursday morning, and by nightfall, a wounded young elephant in Manoharpur also breathed its last during treatment.
This young elephant was severely injured in a recent IED blast.
The repeated loss of elephants is testing the patience of the villagers. Reports indicate that in both Serengsia and Manoharpur, no cooking fires were lit, and the people went without food. Every eye is filled with tears, and every heart is heavy. Their only prayer is, “Oh God, protect these innocents from human cruelty.”
Meanwhile, the villagers are questioning the actions of the forest department and the administration.
