The incident reportedly occurred when two tuskers attempted to cross the
railway barricade to reach a farm bordering the forest area. While one
tusker managed to cross the barrier, the other got stuck while trying to
crawl underneath it.
Fortunately, Forest personnel engaged in snare combing operations, quickly
responded to the situation. They managed to rescue the large tusker by
removing a section of the railing, freeing the elephant from its
predicament.
This successful rescue highlights the dedication and bravery of our forest
staff, who consistently put their lives on the line to protect our precious
forests and wildlife.
DCF Prabhakaran, Field Director of Bandipur Tiger Reserve, emphasised that
such rescues are part of their commitment to wildlife conservation and
protection.
