Vigilance Averts Train-Elephant Collisions at Deepor Beel

In Assam, India, forest officers and train officials work together to keep elephants and trains safe.

They stop trains when elephants are nearby, especially in areas like Mikirpara and Watch Tower.

Local people also help by telling the officers when they see elephants.

Sometimes, it's hard to see the elephants in the fog, but the officers use their experience to help.

In 2025, they stopped trains eight times to let elephants cross safely.

Once, they even saved a baby elephant from a train.

Everyone works together to make sure both people and elephants stay safe.
