The wild tusker which had been battling for life since the previous night in Paneri tea garden in Udalguri district in Assam (India) on August 29,2013.It had been electrocuted due to negligence of Paneri tea garden. International elephant expert Dr.Kushal Sarma, HOD,Surgery,College of Veterinary Science, Guwahati,Assam had successfully treated it in time. Photo shows the tusker stood on its legs just after treatment given by Dr. Kushal K Sarma on August 30,2013.(High doses of calcium and glucose administered in time). It was a touching sight to watch the dying tusker on its legs just before joining its herd.A rare scene indeed. Thank you Dr.KK Sarma other veterinary doctors and forest personnel for saving the animal
