It is to be mentioned that man elephant conflict in the northern part of Udalguri district close to Indo-Bhutan international border had been critical for a few years. Last month one two years old elephant was brutally poisoned to death in Bamunjuli TE and one thirty years old wild elephant was badly injured by locals at Orangajuli TE. The injured wild elephant was however treated by a team of veterinary specialists from Assam Veterinary College, Khanapara, Guwahati on July 4. (newas published in The Assam Tribune on July 9).

People who had been settled in the elephant corridors must learn to treat well with the wild jumbos.

According to him co-existance was the best solution.
