A wild elephant and her calf were rescued after they fell into an abandoned well here in the district on Sunday morning.
The incident was reported from the Hatibari cold storage area under Jujumara block in the district.
According to reports, the mother and baby elephant duo had fallen into the well located near the cold storage on Saturday night. After hours of struggle, the jumbo and her calf could not come out of the well.
Locals spotted them in the well on Sunday morning and informed forest officials about it. Forest officials rushed to the spot and rescued them after a three-hour long operation.
However, the panicked wild elephants damaged two motorcycles and five bicycles on their way to the forest after spending a chaotic night in the well.
