“Every year, the wild elephants kill a large number people, mostly poor farmers from the terai villages. Besides, they also damage standing crops, orchards and hundreds of thatched huts across the terai belt. Until a few years ago, most of the human-elephant conflicts used to occur in the villages adjoining the Indian border in the eastern terai. Now these giant beasts create havoc in almost all the terai districts throughout the year, and the latest victims of these conflicts have been the inhabitants of Ayodhyapuri Village Development Committee in Chitwan district.” - The Rising Nepal
