Oil Exploration in Elephant Reserve Sparks Controversy

Imagine a forest where elephants live, and it's also where some companies want to dig for oil.

The government gave these companies permission to drill in an area called Dehing Patkai Elephant Reserve, where many elephants live.

However, this area is very important for the elephants to move around and find food.

Some people are worried because oil drilling can pollute the water and disrupt the elephants' homes.

A video shows elephants getting upset because the area was fenced off for oil exploration.

Experts say this is bad for the elephants and should be stopped to protect their habitat.

The companies had already received permission to do some drilling in the area, and it’s causing a lot of controversy.
