He first landed on the railway tracks, then crossed the National Highway and ultimately also managed to fall into a coal mine pit. It was a harrowing experince for the guard as this was his first job. But he learnt something important. The elephant had not strayed. The humans, in the name of development, have entered into his home, leaving him confused.
