20 wild elephants disturb town, attack people
Yesterday,
September 26, a herd of wild elephants with about 20 heads disturbed people
in village 5 in Ea Sup town, Ea Sup district of the central highlands
The elephants came to the village at
3am the same day. The locals tried to drive away the elephants back to the
forest by the sound of gongs and drums but elephants were not afraid of
noises and did not move out of the area.
When being chased, an elephant returned
to attack people but it was lucky that nobody was injured.
The Ea Sup District People's
Committee evacuated 10 households in the area to other places and warned
people not to cross the road in this area to avoid unfortunate incidents.
In one day the elephants destroyed a
large area of crops in the area. This is the first time wild elephants
appearing in Ea Sup town.
Some people said that they saw these
elephants seeking for food around the Upper Ea Sup Lake but now all crops
have been harvested so the elephants could not find food and they moved to
the lower Ea Sup Lake, where has many upland rice and cassava fields.
Despite the rain, local forces of Ea
Sup district tried to drive away and prevent the elephants from moving deeply
into the residential areas in order to ensure safety for local residents and
their property.
