About 2 km north from Chandranigahpur Chowk in Rautahat comes the nursery of Adarsh ​​Community Forest. Next to this nursery, the elephant 'Yamgaj', which is coming from Parsa National Park, is stranded. He can't walk very well. is injured

The video of Yamgaj relaxing like this is now viral on social media. There is a throng of people carrying sacks of green corn to see Yamagaj. Then they return after taking pictures and videos. Yamagaj's right leg is seriously injured.

Locals have expressed their concern after the injured elephants started living in the forest where poaching is taking place. In Chait 2070, a rhino was shot and injured in this forest while wandering from Chitwan National Park. The injured rhino died two months later during treatment. Locals are becoming alert and have begun to pray so that the same incident does not happen again.

They are asking the forest and municipality for treatment and rescue. They are pressuring the elephant to go to the park by treating it immediately. Chairman of Ward No. 3 Ravi Devkota said that the treatment of elephants should not be compromised.

Yamgaj crawls to the silver river to drink water. After the movement and commotion of people, it slowly returns to the nursery. He is mostly confined to one place due to a leg injury. The trunk hangs on the branch of the tree. After seeing the painful condition of the elephant, after pressure from the locals, the Division Forest Office wrote a letter to the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Department Kathmandu and the National Nature Conservation Fund Lalitpur on February 15 asking them to treat and rescue the elephant.

Even before this, a medical team from Chitwan-based National Nature Conservation Fund treated Yamgaj in the forest after receiving correspondence from the forest. Even after that, Yamagaj's wound has not healed. It is assumed that he was injured by a hunter's bullet. However, it has not been confirmed.

Whether the elephant was shot in the right leg or planted with a sharp spear, is still doubtful. Hemant Sah, head of Division One, said that Yamgaj's activity is slowing down after the footsteps are heard. "We have already sent a letter to the relevant authorities saying that if the elephant is not treated immediately, there is a danger of death," he said, "The team is coming. Now there will be treatment again. Before being injured, 5 houses were demolished in Judibela village. Locals became angry when they started damaging the crops as well. Later, after seeing the injured, the locals informed Division One and Area Police Office Chandranigahpur.

In coordination with the Forest Office, a team including Veterinarian Amir Sadoula of National Nature Conservation Fund and Wildlife Technician Tirtha Lama, darted the injured 'Yamgaj' to Hillekhola forest located in Judibela-2 and released it for treatment. Doctor Sadoula said that Yamagaj suffered a serious injury on the lower part of his right leg. The team of doctors treated Yamgaz for an hour with a dart. "Since the pus has accumulated up to the inside of the leg wound, we have cleaned it and given antibiotics," Sadoula said, "It takes about a week for the wound to heal." Then he returns to his old abode.'

According to doctor Sadoula, it is impossible to say whether Yamagaj was shot by a hunter or speared. "Looking at it, it looks like a shot," he said, "I can't say that, but the wound is very deep." The legs are also being heard. After the treatment, Yamagaj was left in the forest by the medical team. Doctor Sadoula said that it is not possible to save him immediately and it is not possible to save wild elephants in Nepal.
