In a small village called Asanabani, located in the Betanati range of Mayurbhanj district, there was quite a commotion on a Wednesday. The Forest department had received word that an elephant calf had fallen into a sub-canal of the Subarnarekha river and was unable to climb out. This was a distressing situation as the little one was trumpeting loudly, calling out for help.
As soon as the villagers heard the cries of the calf, they sprang into action. Along with the Gajasathi team and Forest officials, they rushed to the scene to assist in the rescue. It was a race against time as the calf was in danger of drowning or being swept away by the strong current. The rescue operation was not an easy task, as it required great skill and caution to safely retrieve the calf from the canal.
To make matters more challenging, the rescue team had to face two tuskers who were guarding the calf. These majestic creatures were not pleased with the presence of humans and their machinery. They became violent and aggressive, causing a delay in the rescue process. Despite their efforts to fend off the tuskers, the team remained determined and focused on their mission to save the elephant calf.
It was a tense and nerve-wracking three hours, but finally, the team was able to successfully rescue the calf. The onlookers cheered and clapped as the little one was lifted out of the canal and onto dry land. The Forest officials and villagers breathed a sigh of relief as they saw the calf safely reunited with its herd.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of wildlife conservation and the bravery and dedication of those who work tirelessly to protect and rescue these majestic animals. Thanks to the quick thinking and efforts of the villagers and Forest department personnel, this little elephant calf was given a second chance at life.
