Two elephants have been spreading panic in Upparjhar, Kalijharan Maadchuan and Baidupali areas, 12 km from here.
“They came near our kendu leaf phadi at Baidipali. Seeing them our members tried to conceal them inside leafs,” a worker of the phadi told to a team of Balangir range forest officials, forestry students of OUAT Bhubaneswar and the Honorary Wildlife Warden while visiting the area.
Another farmer also showed the pugmarks of elephants damaging his paddy field. These two elephants are moving since last week and believed to moving for mating purpose.
“We have informed the Balangir railway authorities about the movement of the two jumbos to take necessary measures to avoid any mishap,” said a forest official here.
It is interesting to note that jumbo movement in Baidipali village area was not noticed in last 10 years. These two elephants are believed to be in the forest of Banda and the Kharsel Reserve Forest near the Gandhrel project.
The visiting team of forest officials told the villagers not to visit the forest either early in the morning or late in evening to avoid any unfortunate incident.

The villagers were also told to submit their claim of crop damage with all proper documents for quick disbursal of compensation.
