A critically injured elephant died Friday morning while undergoing treatment at the Kapilash Elephant Treatment Centre in Dhenkanal after allegedly consuming an explosive. The elephant had been transported in Airavat, a specially designed rescue vehicle, with the help of a crane and accompanied by a Rapid Response Team and veterinary staff, as it was unable to stand due to the severity of its injuries. Despite continuous medical care, the animal succumbed to its wounds.

The elephant was first found in a critical state near Pathargada Sahi in Bantala forest under the Angul division, with deep injuries inside its mouth caused by the blast, which reportedly occurred five to six days earlier. Special veterinary teams from Kapilash, Angul, and Satkosia worked on its treatment. Forest officials suspect the incident may be linked to poachers’ traps, though investigations are ongoing.

The Forest Department has launched a detailed probe, forming a separate team to identify and take strict action against those responsible. The elephant, part of a 51-member herd that roams Dhenkanal, Angul, and Talcher forests, had been separated from the group at the time of the incident. Its death has sparked grief among animal lovers and wildlife conservationists.
