Rajdhani mows down two elephants in jumbo corridor

GUWAHATI: Two female elephants, aged 5 and 15 years, were killed by a speeding train in a corridor designated for the animal near Dimapur, Nagaland’s commercial hub, on Tuesday. Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) officials said the incident happened about 12.25am when the New Delhi-Diburgarh Rajdhani Express ran into a herd that settlers on the eastern flank of the track had scared away with firecrackers.
