A young man from Odisha was seriously injured in an elephant attack. The incident took place on the Surla-Swarnapuri coastline on the Andhra-Odisha border. The herd of elephants from Odisha state reached Srikakulam district and have been roaming in Keshupuram, Borjapadu and Lakshmipuram villages in Srikakulam district's Ichapuram zone.
