A herd of Asiatic elephants has forcefully broken through a border gate along the Indo-Bangladesh fence in Dolu, Meghalaya, making their way into Bangladesh. 

This event underscores the ongoing conflict between human infrastructure and wildlife movement.

The incident occurred late Wednesday night when the elephants, following their traditional migration path, encountered the barrier. 

The border fence, erected to control human and illegal activities, has inadvertently obstructed a crucial elephant corridor, essential for the seasonal migration of these majestic animals.
