A wild elephant strayed into the Baripada town of Odisha on Monday spreading panic among local residents.
The elephant was seen roaming freely on the streets as people watched from a distance.
Vehicular traffic was stopped for a while on the highway due to the elephant.
At one point it also entered a residential area following which the forest officials were called in.
The jumbo was then guided towards the forest area again.
