RAJKOT: Villagers residing round Gir sanctuary, the last home of Asiatic lions, are beautiful used to looking at rescue of untamed animals from wells. But what they witnessed in Kandhi on Tuesday middle of the night, a tiny hamlet nestled amid the wooded area in Gir-Somnath district, was nothing less than an edge-of-the-seat thriller.
In one of the most dramatic operations in recent times, the wooded area division personnel 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 share of fearful moments. Late within the night, the wooded area division were given a call that a lioness had fallen into a neatly. A team reached the village and started the rescue operation in pitch darkness. Three lion trackers risked their lives and entered the neatly full of water to find the lioness. Adding to their troubles was the fact that there was no electrical energy to be had at the farm where the neatly was positioned.
Forester Mansinh Parmar entered the neatly to find the lioness and using a torch mild noticed her sitting in a big cavity just above the water degree. According to the veterinary protocol, it was no longer imaginable to tranquillize the lioness since it was very with regards to the water. At round 12 within the middle of the night, the rescue team made up our minds that the entire neatly needed to be emptied to save the lioness since it was no longer imaginable to carry her out without tranquillizing.
The wooded area division controlled to get two electric motors of 10 horse energy (HP) and started the method of pumping out water from the neatly at round 5am on Wednesday. It took nearly five hours to completely 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 finally introduced out at round 12 midday.
Assistant conservator of wooded area of Jasadhar range Nikunj Parmar told TOI, “It was an open neatly and we think the lioness was in search of prey. It can be treated at Jasadhar Animal Care Centre and launched within the deep wooded area.”
“Government supplies help ranging between Rs eight,000 to Rs 16,000 to cover wells with parapet walls, but some villagers refuse to cooperate. It is imaginable that some children might also fall into such open wells. Therefore, it is in their very own hobby to avail this help and construct the wall.”
