In a separate incident reported from Talasira village under the Bontal Range of the Angul Forest Division, a tusker died after coming in contact with a live electric wire laid around a crop field. The elephant had reportedly entered the village from a nearby forest late at night in search of food. While attempting to access the field, its trunk touched the electric fence, leading to its death by electrocution.

Forest Department officials reached the site upon receiving information and have detained one person for questioning regarding the illegal electric fencing.

These back-to-back incidents underscore the escalating conflict between wildlife and humans in forest-adjacent areas, raising serious concerns over safety measures and conservation practices.
