Release of elephants sought

Vadodara: Gujarat Prani Krurata Atkav Samiti, a council working for prevention of cruelty against animals, has decided to approach High Court against the priest of a temple who has three elephants as pet at Chhani on the outskirts of the city. Its president Snehal Bhatt said the “mahant” or priest of the temple did not have any license for keeping the elephants. The “mahant” Ayedhyadasji said that these elephants were not used for any commercial purposes and he had been looking after them for the past several years.
