Assam – In a heartwarming display of compassion, a young elephant calf was rescued from the Sessa Tea Estate after being discovered alone and distressed near a forested area along Line No. 12.
The incident unfolded when a group of local youths stumbled upon the calf, which appeared lost and disoriented in the dense undergrowth.
Upon spotting the calf, the young men quickly alerted wildlife enthusiasts from the tea garden, who promptly mobilized to assist.
Demonstrating remarkable care and caution, the team approached the frightened animal, ensuring a safe and gentle rescue operation. After securing the calf, they transported it to the nearby Adabari Tea Estate, recognized as a safe habitat for elephants.

The successful intervention underscores the importance of community awareness and support in wildlife conservation efforts.
