It took five hours for experts to be able to get close enough to the elephant to tranquilize him. 

 

The trouble began last evening when four elephants were separated from their herd after villagers chased them away from their fields nearby.

 

Two elephants retreated towards the forests in the area, but the other two wandered into the city and were separated from each other near Bamboo Bazaar. Read the full report here.
