Odisha Officials Use Archimedes' Principle to Rescue Elephant from 30-Foot Well

In Odisha's Keonjhar district, forest, fire, and police teams collaborated to rescue a male elephant trapped in a 30-foot well by applying Archimedes' principle. Rescuers pumped water into the well to create buoyancy, raising the elephant safely before using a JCB machine to guide it out. This method was chosen over a ramp due to safety concerns. The rescue, shared widely on social media, was praised for its innovative use of scientific principles and coordinated effort.
