A terrible accident happened in the Seshachalam forest on Tuesday morning around 5:30 AM. While walking to Mahashivratri celebrations at Lord Shiva’s temple in Talakona, at least five people were killed, and many others were hurt when a group of elephants attacked them.
According to a police officer, the devotees tried to scare the elephants by shouting, but this made the elephants even angrier. They surrounded the people and charged at them. The frightened devotees ran, but some were caught by the elephants, leading to five deaths and several injuries.
Rescue teams from the police and forest department quickly arrived to help. The injured were taken to the nearest hospital, where doctors said that two of them are in serious condition. The deceased devotees were from Urlagaddapadu village in the Railway Koduru Mandal. More updates are expected soon.
