A herd of wild elephants caused significant damage in the Kumang Lamachaur region of Chaudandigadhi Municipality-7. Ganesh Bam, Information Officer at the District Police Office, reported that the elephants entered Kumang last night, destroying six houses.
Police stated that the elephants targeted wooden homes with thatched roofs belonging to residents including Buddhhiman Rai, Radha BK, Roshan BK, Bam Bahadur BK, Bir Bahadur Magar, and Dil Bahadur Magar.
