The injured wild elephant was however treated by a team of veterinary specialists from Assam Veterinary College, Khanapara, Guwahati on July 4. (newas published in The Assam Tribune on July 9).

People who had been settled in the elephant corridors must learn to treat well with the wild jumbos.

According to him co-existance was the best solution.
