Asia oldest elephant vatsala death: ‘Vatsala’, who is considered to be the senior elephant of the Panna Tiger Sanctuary of Madhya Pradesh and the oldest elephant in Asia, breathed his last at the age of over 100 on Tuesday (July 8). According to an official statement, Vatsala had become physically weak for the past few days and Khairai had fallen near the drain.

The employees of the forest department tried their best to lift him, but died in the afternoon. Vatsala was cremated with full respect by the officials of the sanctuary.

The eyesight of ‘Vatsala’ had gone

Vatsala’s life was not only long but also inspiring. According to PTI reports, she was first brought from Kerala to Narmadapuram and then placed in Panna Tiger Sanctuary. Due to old age, her eyesight was lost and she was unable to cover a long distance, so she was kept free from tasks like patrolling. He was kept in the Hinouta elephant camp, where he was taken to the Khairaiyan drain every day for a bath and the porridge was given in the food.

She used to look after the children of elephants like grandmother and grandmother

Vatsala was not just an elephant, but she was a center of attraction for tourists and a major member of elephants. She looked at the children of other female elephants like a grandmother or grandmother. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav expressed deep condolences over the death of Vatsala, saying, “Vatsala was a symbol of the silent patron of our forests, the senses of the state and the senses of the state. He was a link connecting every creature of the sanctuary with his experiences and affection.”

Vatsala’s health was periodically examined by the management of Panna Tiger Sanctuary and the health of Vatsala. Officials believe that due to better care, she lived in this dry and rare forest area for such a long life. Vatsala not only led the elephants of the camp, but also had a special contribution in the tiger restore scheme. His contribution and memories will survive in the forests of Panna in the coming time.

CM Mohan Yadav replied

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said on the question of the student, “Madhya Pradesh is the first state, which has made a provision to hang in such cases. In a Bhopal incident, our police took fast action and hanged the accused. Our government does not spare such criminals.”

The Chief Minister also questioned the girl students in the mock parliament, the Chief Minister asked, “Tell me, which district is the district where both SP and collector are women? In response, the students said Narsinghpur, which was right. CM said that the divisional commissioner in Shahdol division is also women.

Said to honor women

CM said, “The sisters have always been respected in our culture. The government has also made women sit in large positions of administration. We are making women strong at every level.”

Targeting Congress

The CM lashed out at the Congress party and said, “Congress is a poor party that did not even get an Indian name. You do not like your children like the people of America or England? Congress likes foreign names, then you should go there and contest elections.”

BJP state president Hemant Khandelwal, VD Sharma, Union Minister Savitri Thakur, Rajya Sabha MP Maya Narolia, Minister Krishna Gaur, Mayor Malti Rai and other leaders were present in this program.

Meat shops in mp: After Delhi, it is being demanded by BJP MLAs and ministers in Madhya Pradesh that meat shops should be closed in Navratri. Congress and BJP are face to face about this. The Congress says that the BJP MLAs said that it is the month of Ramadan. Close a month of liquor shop.

Now in Madhya Pradesh too, BJP MLAs have opened a front to close meat shops. BJP MLAs say that what will happen if they close shops in Navratri for 9 days. BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma says that if you respect the feelings of Hindus during the fast, then Hindus will respect you, then Minister Rakesh Singh said that the majority population of the country avoids meat mutton on such occasions. There is a problem due to mutton shops in the surrounding areas.

Therefore, the demand for a ban on the sale of mutton is justified, respecting the sentiments of the majority people. At the same time, MLA Abhilash Pandey demanded the closure of meat. He said that there is a good vegetarian than meat, it also contains protein.

On the other hand, after this demand of BJP MLAs, Congress leader Abbas Hafeez has also targeted fiercely. Abbas Hafeez says that BJP students are doing such things only to shine their politics. According to this, we should also have said that one month closure the liquor shop during Ramadan. And yet the BJP is government.

After this politics, we interacted with meat traders. Traders say that BJP people are trying to spoil the atmosphere forcibly. Bhopal Ganga is the city of Jamuna Tehzeeb. If you want to close, then close the liquor shops. Our shops are covered anyway. They fully follow the rules of administration. Overall, at the time of Nabratri, politics is going on in Madhya Pradesh to close meat shops.
