A herd of 18 wild elephants returned to residential areas and damaged a public cemetery in Pemangku (Dusun) Sinar Wayah, Pekon (Village) Roworejo, Suoh District, West Lampung Regency, Lampung.

"Yes, that's right, last night a wild elephant entered the public cemetery of Sinar Wayah Hamlet, and quarreled or damaged food," said the supervisor of the Gajah Suoh Conflict Task Force and West Suoh Lampung State Bandar Sugeng Hari Kinaryo Adi as reported by ANTARA, Friday, December 11.

According to him, based on amateur video from local residents, it can be seen that the atmosphere of the public cemetery that has been ravaged is thought to be the result of the wild elephant's tantrum.

From the results of the monitoring of the task force team, the elephant group has entered residential areas since the past week.

"So indeed the presence of 18 wild elephants has approached Pekon Roworejo, Suoh District," he said.

According to Sugeng, who is also a member of the West Lampung Regency DPRD, until now the Task Force team and the community are still monitoring the presence of a herd of wild elephants that have entered the residents' settlements.

"The Suoh Valley Task Force has blocked and prevented the herd of wild elephants, but until now the elephants are still around the cemetery area," he said.

To note, previously a herd of wild elephants had also damaged the public cemetery of Sinar Wayah, Pekon Roworejo, Suoh District, West Lampung Regency, on Sunday, November 17, 2024.
