Chattogram, March 27 -- Several hundred villagers in Karnaphuli upazila of Chattogram blocked roads on Thursday, protesting the authorities' 'failure' to curb recurring elephant attacks.

Hundreds of villagers gathered in the morning and blocked the PAB road in front of Daulatpur School, causing severe traffic congestion.

The protesters said they staged demonstration as the authorities failed to take effective measures to control the elephant menace despite a four-day deadline given earlier.
