Sonepur: A herd of 60 elephants continues to wreak havoc in Binika block of Odisha’s Sonepur district where the villagers are spending sleepless nights for the last 15 days.
As to local sources, villagers in Bankighiradi, Sarangpali, Kukudajhuli, Balaranga, Sarguna and Manigaon villages are keeping a vigil as the marauding elephants have destroyed their crops on several acres of land.
