Wild elephant treated by forest department now showing signs of recovery

A 60-70 year old wild elephant, which had wandered into residential areas of Juri upazila from May 22-24, was finally located on May 30 in the Alambari area by forest officials with help from locals. Despite initial difficulties due to cyclone-induced landslides, a medical team managed to administer antibiotics to the ailing but still mobile elephant. With its wound healing and normal appetite, authorities remain hopeful of its swift recovery under observation.  Photo: Collected
