Conservationists Seek Supreme Court Panel Review of Assam Elephants' Transfer to Tamil Nadu
Conservationist Rohit Choudhury has urged the Supreme Court-appointed High Powered Committee to halt the transfer of five captive elephants from Assam to Tamil Nadu, citing concerns over legality, welfare, and lack of transparency. One elephant, Durga, has already been moved to Madurai, while four others are in the process of transfer to various temples in Tamil Nadu. Activists and officials question the documentation and purpose of these transfers, calling for scrutiny to ensure the animals' well-being and legal compliance.
