Wild Elephants Rescued After Being Swept into Floodwaters Near Nepal-India Border
Flash floods originating in Nepal swept five wild elephants, including two calves, into strong currents near the Nepal-India border, carrying them toward the Girijapuri Barrage in Uttar Pradesh. Three adult elephants stayed close to the struggling calves, protecting them as they battled the floodwaters. Forest and Irrigation Department teams intervened to reduce water flow and guide the herd to safety. The incident highlights concerns about wildlife affected by natural disasters amid ongoing rescue efforts in the flood-impacted Himalayan region.
