A very gruesome, shameful and environmentally shocking news is coming out from the forests and wildlife dominated areas of Jharkhand, which has deeply shocked the wildlife lovers and forest department officials of the entire country. The dead body of a giant elephant has been found in a suspicious condition in the middle of a farm situated in a remote rural area of Chaibasa district of Jharkhand, which has spread a sensation in the entire area. The most scary and horrifying aspect of this incident is that after killing the innocent elephant, the cruel and merciless wildlife smugglers have brutally cut off both her precious and long tusks (Elephant Tusks) and taken them away with them. From Uttar Pradesh to Jharkhand, this inhuman incident is being strongly condemned and people are raising the question that when will the kings of the jungles and the giant wildlife be safe from these nefarious conspiracies of smugglers. As soon as the Forest Department and local police team received information about this tragic incident, they immediately reached the spot with heavy police force and took the body in their custody and started a thorough investigation of the case. In the initial investigation, it is being suspected that the smugglers have made this huge wildlife their prey by poisoning it as part of a well-planned conspiracy so that the teeth can be sold at expensive prices in the illegal wildlife market.
According to the details received, when local farmers of a rural area under Chaibasa district turned towards their fields in the morning, they saw a scary sight as the ground slipped beneath their feet. A huge female elephant was lying dead on the soil of the field, and the area around her mouth was soaked in blood and the smugglers had taken out both her main teeth in a very vicious and cruel manner by cutting them with saws or other sharp weapons. As soon as this sensational news spread, villagers from dozens of nearby villages gathered on the spot and started expressing their anger against the functioning of the Forest Department. Villagers say that if there were strong security arrangements so close to the forests, the smugglers would not have been able to escape easily after committing such a major incident. Once again, very big and serious questions have arisen regarding the conservation and safety of elephants in the forests of Jharkhand, because the activities of poaching and smugglers have been continuously increasing in the last few years.
The black business of elephant tusks worth crores of rupees in the international market and their illegal trafficking is still running rampant in many places, and these peaceful natured giants often become victims of this. This gang of smugglers very cleverly keeps track of the elephants moving inside the forests and as soon as they get a chance, they attack them with poisonous weapons or kill them. Even in this incident of Chaibasa, smugglers have carried out this incident with full planning, because they knew at what high price elephant tusks are sold in the market. Taking this matter very seriously, senior officials of the Forest Department and Anti-Poaching Cell have intensified the checking campaign on all the borders and suspicious places of Jharkhand. The officials claim that by using modern surveillance and intelligence network, they will soon put behind the bars the smugglers who have taken the life of this silent creature.
The carcass of the dead elephant has been safely handed over for examination to a special team of veterinarians and wildlife experts who are closely studying the exact cause of death. After the post-mortem report comes, it will become clear whether the smugglers had used some poisonous substance to kill the elephant or she was made a victim of bullet. The Jharkhand government and the forest ministry have also taken cognizance of the incident, summoned a detailed report from local forest officials, and issued directions to take the strictest legal action against the culprits under the Wildlife Protection Act. Such incidents cause huge damage to the environmental balance, as elephants play the most important role in maintaining the forest ecosystem.
In short, this incident that happened in Chaibasa, Jharkhand is a big stain on the face of humanity, where smugglers, in the greed of a few rupees, took the life of an innocent and silent wildlife. Now every section of the society will have to come forward to protect nature and wildlife and the administration will also have to further strengthen the patrolling and security arrangements within the forests so that such dreadful incidents do not recur in future.
