Chhattisgarh: Elephant kills woman, injures 3 in Bilaspur.

  • A woman was killed and three others injured in two separate elephant attacks in Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur district on Friday.
  • The first incident involved a woman, her son, and daughter attacked while sleeping; the woman died, her son was seriously injured, and her daughter sustained minor injuries.
  • The same wild elephant later attacked another man, Rajesh Dhuri, who suffered serious head injuries and a leg fracture.
  • The elephant, separated from its herd, has been roaming the area for over a week, contributing to human-elephant conflicts.
  • Initial relief of Rs 25,000 was given to the deceased's kin, and Rs 5,000 each to the severely injured; Chhattisgarh has seen 320 elephant-related deaths in the last five years.

Why It Matters: This highlights the growing danger of human-elephant conflict.
