The Tamil Nadu Forest Department is taking efforts to treat a sick elephant that was found on the banks of stream on the Tamil Nadu–Kerala border near Coimbatore. It has tasked two veterinarians with examining the condition of the elephant with the assistance of two kumkis.
Field staff of the Forest Department found the tusker on the banks of Kodunthurai Pallam, a stream that separates Tamil Nadu and Kerala forest boundaries near Anaikatti, around 10 a.m. on Monday.
Forest Departments of Tamil Nadu and Kerala faced criticism from animal lovers for their alleged delay in attending to the sick elephant citing jurisdictional issues.
