Thrissur: 27.05.2018

Vineeth Krishnan, a 40-year-old tusker belonging to Guruvayur Devaswom, died at Aanakotta, the elephant yard of the Devaswom.

Devaswom veterinarian Dr Muraleedharan said that the elephant was not keeping well for the past couple of years. The elephant was not being paraded in the festival for the past two-and-a-half years considering its ailing condition, he said.

The elephant was not taking proper food for the past one year, and it had developed edema in the lower portion of the stomach. It was not able to walk properly.

The veterinarian said that the elephant fell down about five days ago, and it was lifted up using a crane. There was a slight improvement in its conditions for about three days after that, following the treatment. However, it fell down and died on Saturday morning. TNN
