Elephants trample woman in Ctg

A herd of 16 elephants trampled a woman on a hill of Satkania upazila in Chittagong this afternoon.

“The elephants destroyed a woman’s house in the forest, eventually killing her,” said Asheem Mollick, a wildlife inspector of Department of Forests. 

The deceased has been identified as Ambia Khatun, 50.

Earlier in the day, the elephants were travelling from one hill to another, through the elephant pass.

On their way, they tampered with a recently built electric pole which finally killed a female aged elephant.

The rest of the elephants were still wandering in the forest.
