PTC News Desk: As the rescue operation started in Gujarat's Vadodara following heavy rainfall, around 40 crocodiles were rescued from residential areas. As the city struggles to return to normalcy, the forest department and non-governmental organisations are working together to rescue crocodiles and other animals and prevent man-animal conflict.
During the rescue effort, a video of two men carrying a crocodile on a scooter has gone viral. While one man drives the scooter, the pillion rider holds the crocodile. The two are identified as Sandeep Thakor and Raj Bhavsar. They are active in animal rescue in Vadodara's Manjalpur and were on their way to the forest department office to hand over the crocodile when the video was captured.
Vadodara is located along the banks of the Vishwamitri River, which is home to a high number of crocodiles. The water had sent the animals into several residential areas.
