Rajaji National Park (Uttaranchal), Dec 12 (ANI): The Supreme Court has issued a notice to Uttaranchal, calling for an explanation for the death of 125 elephants over the last five years.
The notice was sent to Uttaranchal and to the neighbouring state of Himachal Pradesh, following the filing of a case by a voluntary organisation working for the environment, which alleged that elephant poaching cases were on the rise.
