Kodagu: The forest department staff toiled for over two hours to rescue a elephant calf stuck inside the opening of a septic tank in Badragola village limits in Virajpet taluk.

The calf, approximately five years old, was stuck in a tiny opening of a septic tank – which was dug on a private piece of land owned by resident MM Subramani.

The villagers of Badragola woke up to the cries of an elephant calf alerted the forest department and the spot was visited by Thithimathi RFO Ashok alongside others.

The department staff tried for over an hour to pull out the calf, but in vain. The elephant calf helplessly waved its trunk around the hole, even as the staff tried digging out the tank ring.

When their efforts did not bear fruit, the Mathigodu Camp elephant Kunthi was called in for the rescue mission.

A rope was tied around the neck of the calf and it was pulled out by Kunthi.
