An elephant died of electrocution today after it came in contact with a 11,000 volt live power supply line in compartment number one of north Nighasan forest range of Dudhwa National Park buffer zone.
Field director Ramesh Pandey, who alongwith DFO buffer zone Anil Patel rushed the spot, told PTI, "The high-tension power supply line between Bela Parsuva and Raghunagar villages on the border got broken and the 10-year-old tusker came in contact with it while roaming in the area."
