Man trampled to death by elephants in Jharkhand
Latehar (PTI): A 21-year-old man was trampled to death by a herd of elephants in Jharkhand's Latehar district, a forest official said on Monday.
The incident occurred at Bhaisadon village under Balumath Police Station limits on Sunday night when Aryan Lohra went outside his home to relieve himself, he said.
"A herd of 10-12 elephants was passing through the area on Sunday night when he was out to relieve himself. The man could not see the approaching elephants due to the darkness and was trampled by them," Balumath forest ranger Nand Kumar Mehta said.
He said the deceased's family was given an immediate relief of Rs 40,000, and the rest of the compensation will be provided after some official procedures.
In Jharkhand, Rs 4 lakh compensation is provided in case of death due to an elephant attack.
Mehta added that the body has been handed over to the Balumath Police Station for post-mortem examination.
The villagers expressed anger over the incident.
They demanded that the forest department drive the herds of elephants away from the village and find a permanent solution to prevent such incidents.

New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday paid homage to those killed in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919, and said their sacrifice stands as a powerful reminder of the indomitable spirit of the people of India.
Modi also said the saga of those killed in the massacre, their indomitable courage and self-respect against the barbarity of foreign rule will continue to inspire every generation of the nation.
"On this day, we pay our heartfelt homage to the brave martyrs of Jallianwala Bagh. Their sacrifice stands as a powerful reminder of the indomitable spirit of our people. The courage and determination they displayed continue to inspire generations to uphold the values of liberty, justice and dignity," Modi said in a post on X.
Hundreds of people protesting peacefully against the Rowlatt Act, which granted the
colonial administration repressive powers, were gunned down by British forces without any provocation on this day in 1919 at a garden in Amritsar.
While the official figure put the number of dead at 379, freedom movement leaders had claimed that several hundreds more died in the firing.
