A team of Forest officials has been camping in the forest to tranquilise the injured elephant so that the veterinary doctors can carry out its treatment. The locals said the elephant has 3 gunshot wounds on its body.

In Narasinghpur range, two elephants have died due to gunshot wounds in the last month. Last month, an elephant, which had been shot, fell a stream in the forest and was unable to move in Jaipur section of Narasinghpur forest range under Athgarh forest division in Cuttack district. Though the veterinary experts undertook its elephant, the pachyderm succumbed.
