मागील दोन वर्षांपासून गडचिरोलीच्या जंगलात वाघापाठोपाठ रानटी हत्तींचा कळप मुक्कामी आहे. त्यामुळे या कळपाच्या जवळ जाणे टाळायला हवे, असे वनविभाग वारंवार सांगत असते. पण आज त्यांचाच कर्मचारी व्हिडिओ काढण्याच्या नादात आपला जीव गमावून बसला. दुःखद...!#forest #elephant #gadchiroli pic.twitter.com/Y3KGGxYl8x
