Kundhit (Jharkhand), Jan 2: Wild elephants have attacked the remote village of Kundhit in Jharkhand's Jaamtara District, terrifying its residents.
The animals after losing their track ventured into the human settlement and damaged standing paddy crops.
"The elephants are here since yesterday and have destroyed a lot of our crops. Most of our paddy crop was destroyed by them. The forest officials say that they will provide us with torches to keep the elephants away," said Ganesh Chandra Mandal, a villager.
Forest officials have arrived in the village to pacify its panic stricken residents.
The officials are trying to push the elephants back to their habitat.
