Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday wrote a letter to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai seeking his intervention to provide urgent medical treatment to an injured baby elephant in Nagarhole Tiger Reserve.
Mr Gandhi said he came across the “painful sight” of an injured baby elephant with its mother when he and the Congress President Sonia Gandhi briefly visited the Tiger Reserve.
“The little calf has a severely injured tail and trunk, and is fighting for its life”, he said.
