At least two people were injured after a few elephants ran amok in the middle of the road during the ceremonial procession of the 148th Jagannath Rath Yatra in Ahmedabad on Friday.
As per the report, the incident occurred at 10.15 am while the Rath Yatra was passing through the Khadia area of the city. An elephant suddenly moved away from the group and ran in the opposite direction, sparking panic. Following this, one or two other elephants also strayed away from the route.
Even as the police warned people to move away, the mahouts chased the elephant that ran amok and brought it under control, the report added.
