Uttarakhand rain: Elephant stranded on island in Gaula river rescued

Haldwani, Uttarakhand: An elephant that was stranded on an island in a raging Gaula river in Uttarakhand was rescued by Forest Department officials on Tuesday. Heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand swelled the water level of the Gaula river above the danger level and the elephant was seen stuck on a piece of land between Halduchaur and Lalkuan.

A video of the elephant moving around in circles on the piece of land amid the river went viral on social media.
