Sensation prevailed at a tea estate near Numaligarh in Assam as man-elephant conflict reared its ugly head again.

People made frantic efforts to drive away an elephant herd that had taken shelter inside the vicinity of the Letekujan tea estate. Few elephants retaliated at the humans who got too close by chasing them off.
