Five Wild Elephants Rescued from Strong River Currents in Bahraich
In Bahraich's Katarniaghat forest area, three adult elephants protected two calves as strong currents swept their herd towards the Girjapuri Barrage. Forest officials, led by Divisional Forest Officer Apoorv Dixit, coordinated with the Irrigation Department to close barrage gates, reducing the river's force. This allowed the elephants to regain control and move safely back to the forest. Wildlife expert Dr. Ramesh Pandey praised the timely joint rescue, which averted a potential tragedy.
