(IN): Hats off to Assam Rifles for Jumbo rescue

[Guest guest]

**

 

The veterinarians and soldiers of Assam Rifles, an Indian Central Para

Military Force are involved in a battle to save the life of an injured

elephant at the Gamari range near Nameri National Park in Assam.

 

The elephant was found with serious bullet injuries from poachers. At the

time of its detection by the Assam Rifles soldiers the elephant was guarded

closely by its herd.

 

The Assam Rifles vets attending to the elephant have performed surgeries and

the animal is being kept under observation.

More update on the welfare of the elephant recuperating from the operation

is awaited, and shall be made available on AAPN soon.

 

A picture has appeared on a local daily this morning after the elephant had

undergone surgery, please see link below:

Do revert back to me for more pictures of the jumbo as they cannot be made

available on AAPN.

 

Would be great to have you all punching a few kind words thanking the Assam

Rifles for attending to a voiceless creature in the middle of nowhere and

finding time from their extremely busy routine of battling insurgency and

terrorism in North east India.

Update:

 

Sad news, the elephant has died this morning.

I spoke with some senior Assam Rifles officials who have confirmed that the

elephant was being attended to by Forest department officials assisted by

civilians who initially informed them about the injured animal.

The extent of the bullet injury was serious and old. The animal was refusing

any liquid or solid food and was intravenously fed.
