In the first two weeks of the new year, 22 people were killed in the eastern state of Jharkhand, India, by a rogue, one-tusked elephant. Forest department officials are working to capture the elephant before it strikes again. Villagers are terrified of leaving their homes at night. The attacks also come at a time of growing human-elephant conflict across India. From Mumbai, journalist Namrata Kolachalam explains the ongoing challenges of living among elephants.
