The T.N. Forest Department has installed a couple of mini shower systems inside the Elephant Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre in M.R. Palayam near Tiruchi, for captive elephants that are being taken care of at the sprawling facility.
The mini shower systems have been set up adjoining the dedicated walking path created inside the centre, on which the pachyderms are taken every day for morning and evening walks.
Funds to the tune ₹5 lakh were given to the Forest Department to set up this facility inside the centre. Water is to be drawn from one of the borewells sunk close to the shower systems to spray water on the elephants as they approach.
