Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 The soil over the graves of the two female elephants died some days back in Assam maybe still moist but the ruthless eyes of Indian Railways seems severely dehydrated and can never shed a tear. Because they have managed to nurture and bring up one of the World's largest network of 'Killer Steel Monsters' called the 'Trains'. Kill an elephant in India under public eye, and it is most likely that you will end up 7 years in prison. But NO laws, NO rules, NO authority, seems powerful enough in present day India to DEMAND THE SAME FOR INDIAN RAILWAYS ! Sounds crazy but if any elephant were to ask whether we animal people sincerely care enough for them. The answer would be, yes we certainly do: Following is a list of the BEST we 'Indians' have been doing so far: 1. Holding discussions, meetings with the Forest+Railways+State Government+NGOs. 2. Holding more discussions, meetings with Forest+Railways+State Governments+NGOs. 3. Holding more and more discussions, meetings with Forest+Railways+State Governments+NGOs. 4. Now that the frequency of deaths has increased, we may have weekly or daily discussions, meetings with Forest+Railways+State Governments+NGOs.

The speeding train, on way to New Delhi from Dibrugarh, knocked down the elephant near Lamchakhan station bordering Karbi Anglong and Nagaon districts at around 3.30 a.M. The elephant died on the spot and the train was halted for a brief time, the sources added. Animal activists have condemned the incident and said such incidents have been occurring regularly as railway tracks have been laid through elephant habitats. -- http://www.stopelephantpolo.com http://www.freewebs.com/azamsiddiqui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
