Helping Hands !
Medical Aid for Bijli-Ramu from
Student Volunteer's at PAWS-Mumbai

 

On 20 June 2013, Plant& Animals Welfare Society – Mumbai (PAWS-Mumbai) student volunteer’s team under the supervision of Nisha Kunju, Hitesh Yadav (Std. 3 rd of NES Primary School) , Kalpesh Pate (Std. 9 th  Parag Vidyalaya) and Himanshu Surve (Std.  8 th of New Horizon Public School) have collected some funds and got 50 Bottles of DNS 500ml for the treatment of 60 years old elephant Bijli-Ramu at Mulund, Mumbai who is fighting for survival.

Bijli Cannot Stand
by herself

The surrounding were the Bijli is kept is very unhygienic, the atmosphere itself make the Bijli more and more condition critical, treating at this surrounding is useless. The Bijli should be shifted to Animal Hospital or isolated area where people should not allow to touch or see. As the animal is itself in trauma and also in very pain. The Bijli cannot stand by herself so crane is been used to give support to stand. We can see many wounds and injures all over the body of Bijli, which are not recovering.  

Many wounds and injures
all over the body of Bijli

Laxmi chained in
unhygienic atmosphere

She is Goswami's wife Ram Devi
What do you think by seeing her face ?

As Indian Elephant is listed at S. No. 12-B in Schedule - 1 of The Wildlife (Protection) Amendment Act 2002, so it is the duty of Forest Department to take the Bijli into their custody and provide medical aid from expert vet dealing with Elephant.  

Laxmi the other elephant owned by same owner Rati Ram Goswami, is kept chained near Bijli, in same unhygienic atmosphere. We seen Goswami's wife Ram Devi sitting in a cabin happily and enjoying the talk with people who come to see Bijli, not look like anything happened.

We at PAWS-Mumbai strongly believe that cruel owner of Bijli should put behind bar and forest department should take the custody of both the elephant Bijli-Ramu and Laxmi, reviewing the ownership certificate. 

As an alert citizen we are doing our duty, but do you think the authorities who are responsible is doing their duty ?
