The rogue tuskers, who are still present in the fields, are believed to have destroyed paddy crops worth thousands of rupees.
The villagers said that they have been witnessing similar events in the past too, but nothing has been done by the authorities so far to curb the menace.
They also said that apart from causing crop damage, the elephants also pose great threat to human lives. They also demanded full compensation from the government.
