The IFS officer commented on her post, ”Unlike humans, animals don’t limit or know their boundaries. When it comes to elephants, the memories of passage are carried across generations. People living near forest areas or near the corridors should not panic, as this could trigger the animal. They too have the right to passage.’
She added, “The reason for sharing these videos is to educate ourself about such issues and to know how we have to behave in such cases. People who understand this will stay aware and will also educate others around!!!”
