The wild elephant had fallen down the sluice gate after being caught in the flood. The villagers saw the incident and informed the wildlife officials. The wildlife officials immediately reached the spot and took steps to rescue the elephant. The wildlife doctor informed the chief officer in charge of the sluice gate about the incident and requested that the sluice gate be closed. The elephant, which was stuck near the sluice gate due to the fast water flow, was able to escape into the forest after the water flow subsided.
