Vadodara: Two crocodiles were rescued from different areas of the city in the last 24 hours.
Late on Thursday night, animal activists received a call that a crocodile had been spotted near a temple in Jambua village on the outskirts of the city. The volunteers led by Hemant Wadhwana rushed to the spot and rescued an eight-feet-long crocodile.
“The locals spotted about five crocodiles near the temple that is close to Dhadhar River. These reptiles must have come out of the river due to rains. When we reached the spot, we spotted one reptile and rescued it,” Wadhwana said.
