5 wild elephants killed in Assam after being hit by train
As many as five wild elephants were killed after being hit by a train near Balipara in central Assam on Sunday. This comes three weeks after two elephants were killed by another train in the state's Thakurkuchi area. This is due to the encroachment into wildlife sanctuaries and reserved forests, Assam Forest and Environment Minister Pramila Rani Brahma said.
