Their presence has disrupted daily life in the region, which also has two private schools.Forest officials said this area was once an elephant corridor, and elephants have passed through it before. However, such a large herd has never been seen in an urban area in Hazaribagh. Officials mentioned that removing the elephants during the day would be difficult, so they plan to drive them out at night.
