Another Elephant mowed down by the speeding Poorvottar Sampark Kranti Exp in the Reserve Forest Zone of Dooars Same location where exactly 3 months ago 15941 Jhajha Dibrugarh Exp had killed 3 grown up elephants & a cub...but that incident took place near the twilight & due to low visibility the Loco Pilot could not have observed the elephants...But this time the LP of Poorvottar Sampark Kranti was in no mood to slow down @ broad day light & thus furiously hit the Elephant & dragged it down till another 200 metres before coming to a screeching halt.....Sad news for the entire North Bengal....If more such incidents keeps on happening,train services is surely going to be terminated....Members please find whether there is any conspiracy behind such incident or is it happening purely due to the conflict of human & wildlife interest....

The LP of 12502 has reportedly mentioned that though the train was running>100 kmph but as soon as he saw the 67 year Old Jumbo he put on the brakes & thus the train was considerably slowed down..alongside he blowed the horns incessantly..thus the elephant got too much angry & try to hit back the WDP 4B which resulted in the collison finally the train dragged the tusker for 200 mtr before coming to a halt...According to the reports of Forest Official this male tusker belonged to the same family as the one killed on 5th January by the UDL WDM 3A of 15941 Jhajha Dibrugarh Exp..the Elephant wanted to take revenge & thus misinterpreted the SGUJ WDP 4B with the UDL WDM 3A..after all Elephants are not Rail Fans & they dont know any differences b/w the Loco's so neither the elephants fault nor the LP's..only fault is of Pawan...
