Forest officials from Bagdogra and Bamanpokhri rushed to the spot and have been closely monitoring the elephant, which is currently inside the university forest area. Given the proximity of a residential colony to the university, officials are on high alert to prevent any untoward incident.
Assistant Divisional Forest Officer (ADFO) Rahul Deb Mukherjee stated that the department will attempt to guide the elephant back to the Bagdogra forest area after sunset.
