Wild tuskers stray into Sikharchandi, spark panic
Two wild tuskers have entered the Sikharchandi area on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, causing panic among residents. The elephants, which dispersed from Chandaka Wildlife Sanctuary, are drawn by ripening mangoes in nearby farmhouses. Forest officials are monitoring their movements and plan to guide them back without tranquilizers, citing a lack of human conflict during this season.
