Two men were killed in separate wild elephant attacks in Nagaon district, Assam, on Thursday, escalating the recent spate of human-elephant conflicts in the region. Shariful Islam, aged 42, was attacked while working in a vegetable field, and Pranab Das, 35, was killed while trying to protect his village from an aggressive elephant. These incidents are part of a troubling trend, with five deaths reported in just three days, including a three-year-old child and a tribal man in earlier attacks. Forest officials noted that elephants often migrate from hill areas to plains during the rainy season in search of food, leading to increased encounters with humans. In response, locals have called for immediate action from the forest department, including regular monitoring and enhanced fencing to deter elephants from populated areas. Authorities have advised residents to remain cautious and refrain from using firecrackers, which may exacerbate the situation. The bodies of the deceased have been sent for postmortem examinations, while the injured are receiving medical treatment.
