A 53-year-old female elephant named Joymoti, rescued after July floods in Nagaland and Assam, was airlifted to Vantara in Jamnagar for urgent veterinary treatment.
Joymoti was swept away by floodwaters in Nagaland during the second week of July. Local communities and government agencies rescued her.
She suffered wounds on her forehead, right ear, the area above her tail, left inner thigh and abdomen. A deep wound around her external genital area had become infested with maggots.
Her right eye sustained severe damage. She is blind in that eye and has persistent watering.
Joymoti also has a long-standing problem with her left hind leg after a fracture during logging. The injury affects her ability to walk normally and makes it difficult to reach food and water.
After rescue, she received first aid and basic veterinary treatment locally. This included wound dressing, pain medication, multivitamins, mineral supplements and other supportive care.
Doctors determined her multiple injuries, advanced age and existing mobility problems required a specialised veterinary hospital. The airlift decision was made to reduce the time and physical strain of a long road journey.
At Vantara, Joymoti will undergo a detailed veterinary examination. She will receive treatment for her injuries and damaged eye, along with nutritional and other supportive care.
The transfer follows a similar airlift days earlier. A teenager from West Bengal who had been spending long periods in ponds to ease a severe burning sensation was flown to Mumbai for treatment.
Iqbal, a resident of Beldanga, began staying in ponds for hours, including overnight, because leaving the water triggered intense burning across his body. A video of him eating snacks while underwater went viral.
After the footage circulated, a team of medical specialists examined Iqbal. Anant Ambani offered medical assistance to the family and arranged his transfer to Mumbai for further evaluation.
Iqbal was admitted to Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital, where doctors began a detailed assessment and started treatment. His parents said they had taken him to doctors before without significant improvement. They said the family could not afford prolonged treatment, making it difficult to continue seeking specialised care.
