In a tragic incident on Sunday night, a lone elephant attacked a construction camp within the Guru Ghasidas-Tamor Pingla Tiger Reserve in Chhattisgarh, resulting in the deaths of two labourers. The attack occurred around 11 pm near Devsil village in the Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur district, approximately 90 km from the district headquarters. The labourers were resting after dinner when the elephant charged at them. Gaurav, aged 22, died immediately, while Amar Singh, 35, suffered severe injuries and later died en route to the hospital. Forest officials had been alerted about the elephant's movement and were patrolling the area at the time of the attack. The remoteness of the location and poor mobile connectivity hindered communication efforts. Following the incident, the post-mortem of the victims was conducted, and compensation procedures for their families were initiated, including an immediate relief payment of ₹25,000 and a total compensation of ₹5.75 lakh. This incident underscores the ongoing issue of human-elephant conflict in Chhattisgarh, where over 325 people have lost their lives to elephant attacks in the past five years.
