AMPATI, Jan 8: In a heartwarming gesture, the Wildlife department of South West Garo and Border Security Force (BSF) personnel posted near the Indo-Bangladesh border helped an elephant get back on its feet after it was found to be almost on the verge of death.
As per reports, the incident took place near Kalaichar bordering Bangladesh on Saturday.
The elephant, as per Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Rupankar Marak, was in agony after inadvertently consuming poison, possibly from the nearby forest.
The elephant, which was on all fours from pain, was discovered by the 24 Battalion BSF personnel, following which they intimated the Wildlife department.
Both personnel from Forest department and BSF then made arduous efforts in getting the elephant back on its feet but to no avail.
The elephant was then injected with an antidote along with saline.
“Immediately after we were informed of the situation, one of our rangers along with a team, including a doctor, were rushed to the spot. After an antidote was administered and saline was given, things got better. The elephant was able to get back on its feet by the evening and by night, it was walking,” the DFO said.
