The Centre has cleared a proposal to send a rescue team to Bangladesh to retrieve an elephant stranded there after being washed away by the strong currents of the Brahmaputra river from Assam.
Officials of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Tuesday said they had received the political clearance for the visit by an expert team to Bangladesh. The Chief Wildlife Warden of Assam is working on arranging visa for the members of the team.
Project Elephant director R K Srivastava confirmed that a rescue team is likely to leave for the neighbouring country on August 3, but the actual date would depend on factors like the weather condition. ?The Project Elephant division of the ministry is constantly in touch with the Bangladesh forest department, chief wildlife wardens of Assam and Meghalaya and other relevant agencies to rescue the stranded elephant and bring it back to India,? he said.
