Chandigarh, February 4

A TikTok video of a jeep driver scaring away an elephant by driving towards it in Sri Lanka has been shared by IFS officer Parveen Kaswan.

“Identify the animal here. What a pathetic behaviour. You go in your home & do this. Just for a TikTok video. From Sri Lanka. Such people should be called out,” he tweeted.

The tweet has garnered thousands of likes and retweets with people on social media calling the behaviour of the driver as “shameful” and “sad”.

One wrote” “Disgusting! Such people should be banned from every animal reserve in the world.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
