A couple of days after four elephants were killed by an express train at the railway track crossing near the Bagdihi Forest Range in Jharsuguda district, the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) on Wednesday suspended four forest personnel for negligence in duty.
DFO Sushant Kumar suspended Forester Basanta Pradhan and Forest Guards Biswanath Pradhan, Sunil Bhoi and Rohit Majhi.
later, the Forest Department in a letter to the Jharsuguda Station Manager and Chakradharpur Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) demanded action against the driver of the train and other railway officials responsible for the mishap.
