In a video shared by IAS officer Supriya Sahu, two adult elephants and a baby elephant were seen trying to cross the road to go to the other side of the forest. However, one car goes dangerously near the trio. As the video commences, the two adults were seen getting agitated and charging at one of the cars.
“Totally unacceptable and barbaric behaviour by some idiotic onlookers. Just because elephants are gentle, they are being magnanimous to these uncouth minions, otherwise it does not take much for these gentle giants to show their power,” Sahu wrote in the caption.

Some pointed out how traumatized the elephants must have been to get so agitated. Others commented that they were simply trying to protect their young one.
:( Humans thinking, we are the only ones with rights.. Its saddenning to see so much traffic cutting across forests.. Cant we leave the jungles alone? if so important, we can always have hanging bridges for vehicles. or best avoid roads and prefer ring roads.
