Pune: The forest officials of the Chakan range, along with experts from the RESQ charitable trust and Wildlife SOS non-government organization (NGO), rescued an adult male sambar from a factory in Chakan recently and later released it into the wild.
Employees of a private factory at the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) area in Chakan had a surprise visitor when the large deer was chased into the facility by stray dogs in the neighbourhood.
The matter was first reported to the forest department, which, in turn, contacted the trust and the NGO for assistance in rescue and release of it
A three-member team from the NGO, along with a team of forest officers and RESQ experts, went to the location. In the meantime the village rescue team, which has been trained by Wildlife SOS and the forest department in conflict mitigation, arrived at the site to help set up safety nets along the periphery of the factory.
The Wildlife SOS veterinary officer, Nikhil Bangar, immobilized the sambar using a tranquillizer dart from a safe distance. The sambar had not sustained any injuries and was found fit for release by the veterinary experts.
