The Tortured Temple Elephant

Neelakandan the temple elephant of Ayyppa temple, Sasthamkotta Kollam was chained for more than 3 years. Through our court proceeding the elephant was freed but died in the custody of forest department on 29th December 2019. It was found that the department has no medical facility or doctors. The court ordered to construct a full fledged veterinary hospital with Elephant Rehabilitation Centre at Kottoor. After commissioning the project there was no facility and all the elephants in the centre are surviving against the existing laws. We have raised an allegation of Rs. 105 crores corruption. The judge unconditionally favoured the Forest Department and we ought to boycott the High Court.
