Radio-Collared Elephant Rescued Near Villages in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve
A wild male elephant fitted with a radio collar was rescued by over 80 forest officials from Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve after it frequently approached villages near the Majhgawan beat in Chandia range, Madhya Pradesh. The collar, fitted in September 2025 at Kanha Tiger Reserve, had become tight and caused a neck wound as the elephant grew. The collar was removed, and the elephant was taken to Kallwah Range for treatment to prevent potential human-animal conflict.
