Wild elephants have created havoc many times before
Earlier also Nepali elephants have created havoc in this area. Tiger, bear, leopard have permanent residence in forest areas. Due to the border of Chitwan National Park (Nepal) being adjacent to VTR, tigers and rhinoceros also keep straying here. Often wild animals enter the villages adjacent to the forest. This causes problems not only to the people living there but also to the animals. This is not the first case when wild elephants have entered VTR. Even before this, it has happened many times that wild elephants have created havoc in this area and often with the help of the villagers or with the help of the forest department, the wild animals are chased back towards the forest of Nepal.

Thank you for covering the wanderings of the Asian elephants who spend time in Nepal. Perhaps your viewers would benefit from knowing that this species of elephant is accurately called Asian. There is no such thing as a Nepali elephant. I assume you meant wild elephants that are spending time in Nepal.
