Digital Desk: On Friday evening, forest officials assisted by locals rescued six wild elephants stuck in a muddy pond in Goalpara district, Assam. Locals claim that a herd of wild elephants came down from the surrounding Meghalaya hills in search of food. Six elephants, including a calf, got stuck in a muddy pond near Lakhipur in Goalpara while foraging. Some villagers became aware of the trapped elephants' situation and alerted local forest officials and police. The jumbos had to be pulled out from the mud using JCBs, according to a forest official from the Goalpara district. Reportedly, the entire process to rehabilitate the wild elephants lasted about two hours. "Our team rushed to the scene after receiving information that six wild elephants had stuck in a pond. At least ten wild elephants went down to the pond to have a bath, and four of them were able to escape, but six elephants were trapped. Later, we rescued the six elephants with the help of two JCBs." the forest official added. Also Read: Train carrying goods hits a wild elephant to death in Kamrup
