💨 Abstract

A wild elephant caused traffic disruption on National Highway-16 in Odisha's Jajpur district for 45 minutes on March 5th. The elephant strayed from Tomka Reserve Forest and moved towards agricultural fields. Forest department officials are trying to direct the elephant back to its natural habitat to alleviate resident distress. The elephant has reportedly destroyed some vegetable crops and caused fear among locals.
