The incident took place on November 17 in Madarihat town of Alipurduar district of West Bengal, but fortunately there were no injuries reported.

According to reports, the locals have named the elephant "Ekchokha" (the one-eyed) as it is blind in one eye.
The elephant entered the town and destroyed a food stall, an auto-rickshaw, a car and an ambulance before leaving for the forest after half an hour.
Forest department officials reached the scene afterwards and tried to direct the elephant deeper back into the wild.

Chip Edwards: Your Brand in a Voice First World
“With the explosive adoption of Smart Speakers, the primary interaction with your content will become auditory instead of visual. On the world wide web, your brand revolves around a URL, logo, tagline, color palette, font, images, etc., but when your audience is no longer seeing your content, traditional brand elements become invisible.
In a voice first environment, when your audience just asks for what they want, they expect the answer to be returned verbally. In a voice first world, what does your brand look like, (I mean, sound like)?
In this talk, I explore the components of a verbal brand, how to prepare for the shift from written content to verbal content, as well as the future of voice technology and how to prepare for it.”
