RAJKOT: Villagers dwelling around Gir sanctuary, the last abode of Asiatic lions, are pretty used to looking at rescue of wild animals from wells. But what they witnessed in Kandhi on Tuesday middle of the night, a tiny hamlet nestled amid the forest in Gir-Somnath district, was not anything less than an edge-of-the-seat mystery.
In one of the dramatic operations in recent times, the forest division group of workers rescued an eight-year-old lioness that had fallen into a 50-feet deep neatly. The operation lasted for just about 12 hours and rescuers had their percentage of fearful moments. Late within the night, the forest division got a call that a lioness had fallen into a neatly. A workforce reached the village and began the rescue operation in pitch darkness. Three lion trackers risked their lives and entered the neatly filled with water to locate the lioness. Adding to their troubles was the fact that there was no electricity to be had on the farm the place the neatly was situated.
Forester Mansinh Parmar entered the neatly to locate the lioness and the usage of a torch light saw her sitting in a big hollow space simply above the water level. According to the veterinary protocol, it was no longer imaginable to tranquillize the lioness since it was very on the subject of the water. At around 12 within the middle of the night, the rescue workforce made up our minds that all of the neatly needed to be emptied to avoid wasting the lioness since it was no longer imaginable to carry her out without tranquillizing.
The forest division controlled to get two electric motors of 10 horse energy (HP) and started the process of pumping out water from the neatly at around 5am on Wednesday. It took just about 5 hours to fully drain the neatly. Thereafter, three trackers — Ranjitsinh Parmar, Mansinh Parmar and Vanraj Vala — along side a veterinary physician entered the neatly in a parrot cage. Once the lioness was tranquillized, it was in spite of everything brought out at around 12 noon.
Assistant conservator of forest of Jasadhar range Nikunj Parmar informed TOI, “It was an open neatly and we assume the lioness was on the lookout for prey. It will probably be treated at Jasadhar Animal Care Centre and launched within the deep forest.”
“Government supplies help ranging between Rs 8,000 to Rs 16,000 to cover wells with parapet walls, but some villagers refuse to cooperate. It is imaginable that some youngsters might also fall into such open wells. Therefore, it's in their own hobby to avail this help and build the wall.”
