Elephant Calf Rescued in Bagdogra, Reunited With Mother

Bagdogra, October 25: A 15-day-old elephant calf that fell into a septic tank inside the Indian Army's 16 FAD premises at Bengdubi, near Bagdogra, was rescued and reunited with its mother on Sunday after a challenging operation involving Army personnel, forest officials and veterinary staff.

The incident was reported around 4 am when the calf became trapped inside the tank. Its mother reportedly tried to rescue it but could not pull the young elephant out. Army personnel alerted the Forest Department, and a rescue team was dispatched to the location. Forest officials broke open part of the septic tank structure to free the calf. However, bringing the animal out was only the first part of the operation. The bigger challenge was finding its mother and ensuring that she would accept it back.
