Poachers shoot elephant in Assam, hack it to pieces

JORHAT: An adult male elephant was shot dead and its flesh cut away in Dulung reserve forest in Assam's Lakhimpur district after it was shot dead by poachers late on Thursday. Poachers also beheaded the elephant and took away its trunk, tusks, and limbs before escaping from the forest. Forest officials said efforts were on to nab the culprits.

"We're looking for the poachers, but no one has been arrested so far," an official said. "A preliminary probe suggests that three people sneaked into Dulung forest to kill the reserve's only elephant on Thursday. They shot it dead and cut it into pieces at night. Although we got the information about the gang's operation, they managed to escape."

Locals said that forest officers arrived 10 hours after the incident. "The incident happened only because of the forest department's failure. We condemn both the incident and official negligence," a villager said, adding that they were saddened there was no elephant left in the forest.

Several regional organizations, like AASU and KMSS, too, condemned the incident and demanded a high-power inquiry. AJYCP's Lakhimpur general secretary Saurav Das said, "We strongly condemn this inhuman act and demand a high level probe in to the matter. This happened due to the failure of forest minister Rockybul Hussain and his forest officials. "
