Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Elephant is rescued from well in southern India in 12-hour operation” – below is their description.
Forest staff and villagers in the Dharmapuri district of Tamil Nadu hoisted an elephant out of the bottom of a well in an operation that took more than 12 hours. A farmer heard the cries of the elephant and alerted local authorities who arrived at the 55ft-deep (16.7-metre) well with a team of 50. Despite the depth of the well, the water inside was shallow and was pumped out to make it easier to access the 25-year-old male elephant. Two excavators, trucks and a crane were used in the operation, which brought the elephant out unharmed. The elephant will be released in the nearby Hosur forest area Elephant trapped in Indian well rescued in 12-hour crane operation
