A large elephant was saved from a well after a 6-hour rescue operation.

In the small town of Bhawanipatna, a wild elephant recently found itself in a difficult situation. It had fallen into an abandoned well near a cashew plantation, located close to the Saurapadar village within the Kesinga Forest Division of Kalahandi district. The poor elephant was struggling to climb out of the well, and its distressed cries were heard by the locals, who quickly alerted the Forest department for help.

Ranger Prabhabati Seth and a team of Forest department personnel immediately rushed to the scene upon receiving the news. They could see the elephant's desperate attempts to free itself, and knew they had to act fast. After six long hours of hard work, the team was able to successfully rescue the elephant from the well, using a JCB machine. Once freed, the elephant wasted no time and ran off towards the nearby Bajragarh forest, finally safe and sound.

This incident is just one of many in recent days, as a herd of 30 elephants has been causing havoc in the surrounding areas. These majestic animals have been feasting on crops like paddy and cotton, causing significant damage to the farms in Parlasinga, Podhakhamba, Shirol, and Dumeramunda villages. Understandably, the affected farmers have lodged written complaints with the Forest department, hoping for a solution to the issue.

Despite their best efforts, the Forest department has been struggling to keep the elephants away, causing frustration and discontent among the local population. The presence of the herd has also resulted in the electricity being cut off at night in nearby villages, including Balsi, Rengali, Masanibandh, Parlasinga, and Shirol. This has caused great inconvenience to the villagers, who have to endure the darkness and extreme heat during the night.

The situation remains a delicate one, as the authorities work towards finding a solution that will ensure the safety of both the elephants and the local community. Until then, everyone hopes for a peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife in the beautiful town of Bhawanipatna.
