According to reports, in the Morada block area under the two ranges of Betanti and Rasgobindpur, Jharkhandi and Shimilipal elephants continue to harass and cause extensive damage and loss of life and property to the people. It is said that the villagers detained two rangers, including two ranger forest officers, for about eight long hours at Anuam of Gholmuham panchayat under the block.

According to the information, last Monday night, this block attacked the house of Baidyanath Mahanth of Anuam village and completely destroyed Hatipal.
