NEW DELHI: Dramatic visuals have emerged related to the rescue of a one-year-old Asiatic lion cub which fell into a farm well in Lodhva village, located in the Sutrapada taluka of Junagadh district in Gujarat, on Tuesday morning.
The cub was found stranded at the bottom of the well. Acting quickly, the authorities managed to retrieve the cub from the well using specialised rescue equipment.
Later, the cub was taken to the Amrapur Animal Care Center for medical care.
Officials have said that the cub appears to be in stable condition, though it will undergo further monitoring.
Earlier loco pilots of Western Railway (WR) successfully prevented eight lions from being run over by trains over two consecutive days in Gujarat, officials from the Bhavnagar Division reported on Sunday.
They stated that the Bhavnagar Division enforces stringent wildlife protection measures, particularly for lions. Train operators remain vigilant and adhere to speed limits. Thanks to collaborative efforts between train operators and forest department trackers, 104 lions were protected during the fiscal year.
