Man - elephant conflict is showing no sign of relief in this state. In the latest incident, at least six people, including four members of a family, were trampled to death by a herd of wild elephants in Jharkhand's Hazaribag district on Friday.

Reports said that the herd, which had attacked several people over the last few days, entered Gondwar village in Churchu block in Hazaribagh on Thursday night and trampled six people to death early today.

This was confirmed by Hazaribag East Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Vikas Kumar Ujjwal.

"Among those killed are four members of a family. One child was also seriously injured," Ujjwal said.

The child has been admitted to the Sadar Hospital in Hazaribag for treatment, he said.

The herd had been roaming in Bokaro, Ramgarh, and Hazaribag districts for the past few days and had earlier caused casualties in Bokaro, Ujjwal added.
