Unfortunate..! We forget nature when we think of development. This will haunt me forever . So sad Terrible tragedy Ganga and her herd were chased from fields and encountered a railway line on the path. All the elephants crossed the railway tracks except for a little calf. Without batting an eyelid, Ganga stopped to rescue the calf as a train approached, and in the process, she died as the vehicle hit her. Ganga, thus, died while protecting her calf.
