BANGALORE: Although it was the intervention of the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, which in the ultimate saved the young she-elephant Veda of the Bannerghatta National Park near here from being trans-located to the cold and unfamiliar climes of Armenia, the Governor, T.N. Chaturvedi, too had a role in it. Reacting to a report from New Delhi in The Hindu of Thursday about the decision against gifting the elephant to Armenia, the Raj Bhavan here noted that Compassion Unlimited Plus Action had represented to the Governor opposing the Centre's decision to transfer the elephant to the Yerevan Zoo in Armenia as the "elephant calf cannot withstand the extreme cold climate of Armenia and it may prove fatal for it". Mr. Chaturvedi wrote to the Prime Minister about the decision. Ten days later, the Prime Minister replied saying: "I have received your letter of April 11, 2005. My Government has examined the issue and it has been decided not to send Veda to Armenia".
