Lone tusker leaves a family homeless in Gelephu

Gelephu—It was close to midnight on August 27 when 60-year-old Namgay Tshomo was jolted awake by the rumbling noise of a lone elephant hitting the walls of her room. For the past two years, she has rented two rooms in a single-storey bungalow at Tashiling, Gelephu town, alongside three other families.
