A group of picnickers were in a moment of chaos after they spotted an elephant herd charging across the forests near Guwahati on Saturday afternoon. As many as seven-eight elephants were part of the herd, showed a video, as the picnickers quickly boarded a bus and pulled away.
The elephants, however, made no aggression towards the picnickers and there was no confrontation.
