A mahout guides a forest department elephant to demolish a house at Bandardubi village, on the periphery of the Kaziranga National Park, northeastern Assam state, India, Sept 19, 2016. Authorities ordered the demolition of around 300 houses in three villages to evict people living on the periphery of the rhino sanctuary to stop rampant poaching of the rare animal, a top police official said. Two people were killed and several others were injured Monday when villagers clashed with police while protesting the demolition of their homes. [Photo/IC]
