Injured Elephant Joymoti Airlifted to Vantara for Expert Care After Nagaland Floods
Elephant Joymoti, swept 55 kilometers through Nagaland floods, has been airlifted to Vantara in Gujarat after severe injuries, blindness and an old fracture. Supreme Court approval enables specialized veterinary care.
Joymoti sustained wounds to her forehead, ear, thigh and abdomen, along with a maggot-infested genital injury. She was also found to be blind in her right eye and had an old leg fracture. Following local treatment, she became the first elephant airlifted in India for such care.
Her transfer to Vantara was carried out with the approval of the Supreme Court, allowing her to receive intensive veterinary support at the facility. Vantara's advanced elephant hospital is now providing wound treatment, eye care, nutrition and continuous monitoring as part of her recovery.
