Guwahati:
A group of picnickers were in a moment of chaos after they spotted an elephant herd charging across the forests near Guwahati on Saturday afternoon. As many as seven-eight elephants were part of the herd, showed a video, as the picnickers quickly boarded a bus and pulled away.
The elephants, however, made no aggression towards the picnickers and there was no confrontation.
The elephant herd was fleeing the Khambrenga wetland, scared by a fire lit by villagers when it was camping in the area.
It’s the picnic season in Assam as Sunday marks the beginning of the Bihu festival.
