2 killed in protests after eviction from rhino sanctuary

摘要

Two people were killed and several were injured as police tried to stop protests against forced evictions of homes near an Indian rhino sanctuary that houses the largest number of the creatures in the world. The demolition order for 300 houses surrounding a national park in northeastern India was an attempt to stop the creatures' poaching. In response to authorities using bulldozers and domesticated elephants to pull down houses, residents threw stones at police, injuring 10 of them. Officers then fired rubber bullets and tear gas into the crowd, and two people were killed in the ensuing skirmish.
