Bhubaneswar: On Saturday, two people, including a minor girl, were killed in separate elephant attacks in Odisha's Balasore and Khurda districts.
An elephant trampled to death an eight-year-old girl in the early hours of the morning at Saralia Chitrasul village in the Soro block of Balasore district, according to sources.
When a herd of about eight elephants entered the courtyard, the girl began to scream. When the family members attempted to drive the pachyderms away, one of the elephants broke into their home and trampled the young girl.
The girl was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, but she was declared dead by doctors.
In another incident, an elephant killed a laborer on the Kamaguru-Mayurjhalia road in Khurrda district's Tangi Range.
Satya Behera, a resident of Natini village in Nayagarh district's Ranapur police limits, has been identified as the deceased.
Behera was attacked by the pachyderm while on his way to dig a well with two other laborers. While Behera was killed by the elephant, two others managed to flee.
