IAS officer Supriya Sahu posted the video on Twitter. She also shared a descriptive caption while tweeting the video. “Don't know who is the driver of this government bus but he is certainly Mr Cool. The way he handled the supervision check by Mr Elephant it was like business as usual between them,” she wrote. In her tweet she also gave the video credit to an individual named K.Vijay. The post is complete with two hastags which are #elephants and #noconflict.
The video is captured from inside the bus and shows an elephant standing a few meters away. Soon, however, the tusker starts approaching the vehicle and at one point gets so close that a thin crack appears on the windshield. The driver, throughout, this encounter maintains his cool and ultimately drives away from the gentle giant.
