On June 28th, a remarkable rescue operation unfolded in Tumdi village, located in the Malhargarh tehsil area of Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh. A fully grown crocodile, measuring approximately 10 feet in length, had found itself in distress, drawing the attention of hundreds of concerned villagers who spotted the reptile along with three dozen hatchlings. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the villagers promptly alerted the local forest department.

Responding swiftly to the call for help, the Mandsaur Forest Department's flying squad, led by Pushkar Malviya and Jitendra Singh Panwar, sprang into action. Accompanied by a dedicated team of forest workers, they arrived at Tumdi village fully prepared to undertake the challenging rescue mission. The cooperative efforts of the forest officials and the supportive villagers proved instrumental in their success.

The rescue team skillfully extracted the adult crocodile from a precarious ditch within the village. With careful precision and utmost concern for the safety of the reptile, they managed to secure the creature, ensuring its protection from further harm. The villagers' invaluable assistance further bolstered the rescue operation, showcasing the power of collaboration and community spirit.

However, the mission didn't end with the retrieval of the giant crocodile. During the operation, the forest officials also discovered a pit containing 35 baby crocodiles and three unhatched eggs. Determined to safeguard these vulnerable creatures, the team transported them to the Mandsaur Forest Department office.

With the guidance and directives of the authorities, the 35 hatchlings, along with the rescued adult crocodile, were subsequently released back into their natural habitat.
