Diglipur, January 18: Killing of a bull by an elephant on 16th of January 2023 has been reported from Swarajgram village of Diglipur Tehsil.
As per report, a villager named Mr. Nirmal Roy, R/o Ward No. 04, Swarajgram village said that an elephant had reportedly killed a bull of his on the night of 16th of January 2023. He had six numbers of cattle including the one knocked off by the elephant. On the night of this incident, he had tied his cattle on his homestead land as usual with no notion that that kind of incident would happen, Mr. Roy lamented.
He had purchased this bull which was of a Jersey breed as a seed so as to yield more Jersey cattle and increase the number. But his aspiration was shattered with the mercilessly killing of his bull by the elephant, the dejected farmer said.
Being an indigent peasant, it was a huge loss to him and hence; with the desire to avail the due compensation from the Forest Department against his bull killing by the elephant, he went to the Office of the DFO, Diglipur Division and waited for a long time yesterday he said.
Talking to Andaman Sheekha, the indigent and harried Nirmal Roy further disclosed that, post-mortem on his dead bull was conducted today i.e. 18/01/2023 for which he had to run from pillar to post.
According to information, the fore-ribs of both sides of the bovine were fractured as the elephant had reportedly trampled the bull.
