Elephant calf found dead inside army camp

A female elephant calf was found dead in a drain at Narangi Military Station here today. A Defence spokesperson said the calf was spotted stuck in a drain inside the military premise this morning. As no movement was observed in the pachyderm, forest department was promptly informed.

A team of forest officials on arrival at the site of the incident declared the animal dead, most likely due to suffocation on being stuck in the drain. Exact veterinary cause of death will be ascertained after the finalisation of the Post-Mortem report, the spokesperson added.
