After successfully bringing back several Indians in difficult situations in foreign countries, the Ministry of Home Affairs has taken up the case of a female elephant stuck in Bangladesh. The elephant landed in an island in the neighbouring country when flood waters washed it away from the Kaziranga National Park. The ministry sprung into action when the Bangladesh government informed it about the elephant's whereabouts and expressed its willingness to send the animal back. A three-member team is getting ready to go to Bangladesh to bring it back. A lot of planning is underway since the only channel of evacuation would be the waterways connecting India and Bangladesh.
