Round-the-clock operation launched to capture killer elephant

A week after the wild tusker killed a woman and her four-year-old son in Jagatpur, Chitwan National Park has intensified efforts to tranquillise, collar and track the animal blamed for 25 deaths since 2010.

Chitwan National Park has deployed round-the-clock patrols in a renewed effort to capture Dhurbe, the notorious wild male elephant blamed for killing at least 25 people over the past 15 years, after it recently claimed the lives of a 25-year-old woman and her four-year-old son in Chitwan.
