Two elephants, ‘Samrat’ and ‘Nihar Kali’, have been returned to Gazipur Safari Park just 12 days after being placed in the care of handlers under specific conditions. The Forest Department entrusted the elephants to caretakers with stipulations, primarily to prevent their use for fundraising activities. These conditions were reportedly violated, leading to the elephants’ return. Details regarding the exact nature of the breach remain limited, but the decision underscores the Forest Department's commitment to protecting the animals’ welfare. The incident raises questions about oversight and accountability in animal care within the park. Authorities are now reassessing the terms of entrustment for the elephants' future care. This situation highlights challenges in balancing animal welfare with external pressures and ensuring adherence to agreements.
