”Yamgaj” has been lying idle for months.
The elephant 'Yamjag', who has been injured in the forest for one and a half months, will now be under medical supervision. In the nursery of community forest located in Chandrapur-3, he was walking normally with a broken leg. ``Yamgaj'' has a serious injury on his leg, which is swinging from Parsa National Park.
Yamagaj, who is not able to walk properly, was treated again on Thursday. A team including Veterinarian Amir Sadoula and Wildlife Technician Tirtha Lama of Conservation Fund darted the injured 'Yamgaj' to the nursery and gave antibiotics. Earlier, the treatment was performed under unconsciousness, but this time the doctor performed the treatment while standing. After the first dose didn't work, he was tarred twice. After that, the medical team climbed on the JCB and injected dozens of antibiotics in his back.
Doctor Sadoula said that Yamagaj was given antibiotics for 72 hours. "Now, he will be under our surveillance for some time," he said, "if it doesn't improve during this period, we will add another dose." A team of doctors is currently staying in Chandranigahpur to monitor Yamagaj. The team has also requested the locals around the nursery to take care of the elephants. Last February 1, the team from Sadoula left the Hilekhola forest located in Judibela-2 by darting after treatment. The team took an hour to treat it. At that time, as pus accumulated up to the inside of the leg wound, it was cleaned and antibiotics were given. But after there was no improvement, the team treated for the second time. Yamagaj's front right leg is swollen. The doctors say that if the treatment is not done, the wound will increase and the condition will become more critical.
Locals have expressed their concern after the injured elephants started living in the forest where poachers are helping them. Ward-3 Chairman Ravi Devkota has been demanding that the elephant be taken to the park and treated at a facility-equipped center.
In Chait 2070, a rhino was shot and injured in this forest, which was wandering from Chitwan National Park. The injured rhino died two months later during treatment. Locals have started to protest so that the same incident does not happen in Yamagaj. The video of Yamgaj sitting in a relaxed condition on a sud tree by the side of the community forest is now viral on social media. There is a crowd of people carrying bags of green corn to see Yamagaj. Then they return after taking pictures and videos.
Yamgaj reaches the river Chadi to drink water while scratching his feet. After the movement and commotion of people, it slowly returns to the nursery. Because of the leg wound, he often sits in one place and hangs on the branches of the tree. After the crowd came to see the elephant, the doctor was able to get treatment this time. Teams of Nepal Police, Armed Forces and Forest Guards were deployed to clear the crowd. Although the locals demanded to take him to the park, doctor Sadoula said it was not possible. It is not easy to take it. It is not possible to carry an elephant on a stick," he said. "Forest elephants have not been rescued and taken from one place to another in Nepal so far." Even the doctor is puzzled as to how Yamagaj's leg got injured. It is still doubtful whether the right leg of the elephant was shot or a sharp spear was planted. Yamagaj from Parsa Park was aggressive at first. Yamagaj's activity has become relaxed after the feet start to feel. It destroyed 3/4 houses of Judibela village two months ago. After the injury, he is now weak and weak. A year ago, Yamagaz had attacked locals in Makwanpur and Bara's Kolhavi. Parsa Park also made a lot of efforts to pacify the Yamgaj, whose nature is not to be seen by humans.
