Jabalpur high court nod to shift 'aggressive' zoo tuskers to Ralamandal

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 30 Juni 2013 | 22.34

INDORE: Two elephants of Kamla Nehru zoo will be shifted to Ralamandal wildlife sanctuary, 20km from the city.

In a proposal sent to the Jabalpur high court, the forest department had sought relocation of "aggressive" tuskers 'Moti' and 'Champa' to the sanctuary. The court has accepted the proposal.

Due to their aggressive nature, shifting the elephants to any national park was believed to be risky. An enclosed area of 5 acres has been earmarked in Ralamandal where the two elephants will be shifted. It will have a boundary wall to ensure their safety.

Chief conservative of forest (CCF), PC Dubey said, "The court has accepted the proposal that mentions about interim duration in which the elephants will be shifted to the Ralamandal sanctuary. The court has asked the Central Zoo Authority of India (CZA) to come up with a rehabilitation centre for the state elephants."

Pench National Park team member, Akhilesh Mishra, said, "The team will again inspect health of both the elephants. Relocating them by road at a distance of 700 km with a speed of 20-25 km/hr would take 40 hours which would be a tough task. The court decision is practical as it will cut any chances of injuries."

"We have taken urine and blood samples of both the elephants. Moti will be first shifted to a 15 feet wide cage where his reactions will be monitored," said zoo in charge, Dr Uttam Yadav.

Animal activist Dr Sudhir Khetawat said, "It is a good decision. The elephants were chained since 30 years within the zoo. These elephants will be able to enjoy in the wild."
