18 elephants killed in lightning strikes in Assam

In a tragic incident, at least eighteen wild elephants have died in lightning strikes at a forest in Nagaon district of Assam. The incident happened on Wednesday night at a hill in the Kundoli proposed reserve forest in the Kathiatoli range.

Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (Wildlife) Amit Sahay has said that the area is very remote and the officials could reach the spot on Thursday afternoon. He said the bodies were lying in two groups. Fourteen were lying atop the hill and they found four at the bottom of the hill.

The preliminary investigation found that the elephants were killed due to electrocution caused by lightning last night, but the precise reason will be known only after post-mortem, which will be done on Friday.
