Coimbatore: Members of the rapid response team (RRT) under the district forest department on Sunday rescued three wild boars that had fallen into a well at Mullangadu near the city. The boars were stuck in the well for three days.
A member of the RRT said they received the information on Sunday and reached the spot, a farm at Mullangadu in Boluvampatti forest range, around 8am. They had carried ropes and nets with them.
“The well was around 100feet deep. We tied the net from above and tried to bring out the boars. But as they were without food they had been lying down and we had to provoke them to come into the net,” the member said.
After almost eight hours, the team managed to capture the boars in nets by 4.30pm. Later, the rescued boars were released into the forest. tnn
