Sulochana Das, Kalinga Times

Bhubaneswar: Calf elephant Kalinga, which hogged the headlines for several weeks after it strayed into the Capital city and its subsequent return to the wild a fortnight ago, is no more.
The seven-month-old elephant calf was found dead inside the Chandaka Wildlife Sanctuary on the outskirts of the city on Sunday.
The calf elephant was named Kalinga as it had entered the Kalinga Studio premises along with five elderly pachyderms on May 3 night.
It had got separated from the group the next day after it fell into a ditch. The herd returned to Chandaka forests on the night of May 6 after it failed to trace the calf.
Kalinga's carcass was spotted in a puddle of water about one km away from the Bharatpur watch tower of the sanctuary.
