Jharkhand's forest department was praised online after the rescue team used Archimedes principle to rescue an elephant calf stuck inside a well in the state's Gumla district.
The forest department of Jharkhand is being praised on social media after a video of a rescue of an elephant that was stuck in a well went viral. The video went viral after it showed how officials used the Archimedes principle to rescue the elephant calf.
Forest department officials said they were alerted by villagers who found an elephant calf inside a well in the Gumla district on Tuesday.
The rescue operations reportedly started around 7 am and went on for about three hours before the elephant was rescued using the upward buoyant force theory.
Applying the famous principle, the rescue team filled the well with water using motorised pipes. The struggling elephant floated to the top of the well and it was able to climb out of the well through a ramp that was dug for it to climb out.
