Two elephants died from electrocution at Riverine Army Base in Kaptai of Rangamati this morning.
A 20-year-old male elephant and an eight-year-old female elephant died after their trunks touched a live electric wire at the base, said Golam Mawla, divisional forest officer of Wildlife in Chittagong.
The electric wire was hanging only seven to eight-feet high from the street, he said.
Around 16 elephants now live in the area, he added.
