Elephant Herd Tramples Three Family Members to Death in Jharkhand's Bokaro

In Jharkhand's Bokaro district, a herd of elephants attacked Barkipunnu village early on February 5, trampling three family members to death and injuring two others. The elephants reportedly returned after being initially driven away, damaging property while seeking paddy. Officials confirmed the incident and have initiated compensation processes. Increased elephant movement and concerns over preventive measures have raised questions about the Forest Department's response following a similar fatal attack earlier in the month.
