The elephant was rescued after three days in the canal (Salar News)
Bengaluru, 18 Nov
A male wild elephant that had fallen into a canal in Mandya district has been safely rescued, Karnataka Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre said on Tuesday.
The elephant had fallen into the canal near Shivanasamudra when it attempted to drink water there on Saturday. Since then, it could not come out from there for the last three days and was exhausted due to lack of food.
The forest staff carried out the operation in difficult conditions and safely lifted the elephant out, the minister said.
The forest department officials had brought a crane to rescue the elephant. The veterinarian darted at the elephant. After the elephant became unconscious, it was lifted from the canal using a crane, and rescued, officials said.
A reverse dart would be administered to the elephant, so that it regains consciousness, and it will be later released into the forest, they added.
