| Two female elephants aged between 30 and 40 were killed after they were run over by a goods train loaded with iron ore in Orissa's Keonjhar district on Wednesday.
A tusker, which was severely injured in the accident, has managed to go back to the forest.
A four-month old baby elephant, which escaped with very minor injuries has been rescued by forest officials and is being taken to the Nandankanan Zoo near Bhubaneswar.
The train ran into a wild herd as it was crossing the railway line.
Local people have blamed rampant mining and industrial activity along the elephant habitat for the tragedy.
