On Saturday, Forest officials said that a tuskless adult elephant died after getting caught in a swamp in Assam’s Golaghat district. According to them, the elephant was stuck in the Sungihola waterbody in Khumtai area of Golaghat district on Friday morning.

Forest officials hurried to the scene and notified the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC) in Kaziranga. However, it was suggested that the elephant be observed if it emerged from the bog on its own. In the evening, forest personnel observed the elephant attempting to exit the swamp but failing after several attempts.
