In a hair-raising video making rounds of social media, an elephant was seen charging on two bikers, forcing them to abandon their vehicles and run away. The video shared on Twitter by forest officer Susanta Nanda that was filmed by a user shows the bikers, ignoring the instructions given by the forest as they tried to cross the roads at the time as the elephant.
The user who filmed the video Sreedhar V, said while posting the video, "These two-wheeler riders did not listen to FD staff and decided to go ahead while elephants were crossing and got charged at." Nanda tweeted while sharing the video, "Gently saying no. Enough is enough. When the elephant is with calf, the gentle giant can be a real giant."

Sir Notice the gentleness. Elephant in no way was trying to harm but only tried to scare off the people to protect its calf and after creating a safe distance left on its way. Elephants are ðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0092Âu00c2u009c

How did the rider come from the left to right? Is there a smaller road merging with the Main Road there?

Or was the rider trying to overtake the elephant, and lost control due to panic ðÂu00c2u009f¤Âu00c2u0094ðÂu00c2u009f¤Âu00c2u0094 बà¤Âu00c2u009a à¤Âu00c2u0097à¤Âu00c2u008f दà¥Âu00c2u008bनà¥Âu00c2u008bà¤Âu00c2u0082 ðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0098Âu00c2u0082ðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0098Âu00c2u0082

Such gentle wisdom in such a huge creature .. will not harm wilfully.. stupid humans shd realise that they need their space esp when she’s with her calf .. #universalFierceMother but still just scaring them away not trampling them
