Yes , this will go well . <| sep |># Patanjali may face probe after elephant dies in its Assam plant p itaccidentallyfellintopit 4 a 28755 eb 24211 e 6 a 4404 c 379 adbb 6 c 0 . jpgThe Assam government is planning to register a police case against unknown persons after a wild elephant died at a construction pit in yoga guru Ramdev ' s herbal and food park being built in the state . A male , a female and her calf from a herd fell early on Wednesday into one of the large unfenced pits being dug to construct Patanjali ' s unit at Ghoramari in Tezpur district . The tusker managed to get out , but the female , which suffered internal injuries and broke a leg from the fall , and her twomonthold calf , remained stuck . Efforts to pull her out and treat her proved futile and she died on Wednesday night . The calf , which remained near his mother for the entire day , was shifted to the elephant rehabilitation centre at Kaziranga national park . Something which shouldn ' t have happened has happened . I have directed my department to register a police case to probe the reasons that led to the elephant ' s death , forest minister Pramila Rani Brahma , who visited the site on Thursday , said . The first information report FIR will be registered against unknown persons but names will be entered once the preliminary inquiry establishes the culpability . Reports say several pits have been dug up in the area to set up the plant , but no fence was erected to prevent animals or humans from falling into them . I have heard this area is frequented by wild elephants . If the land was allotted to Patanjali despite this knowledge , it is unfortunate . Protective measures should have been taken , Brahma said . Chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal laid the foundation of Patanjali ' s Rs 1 , 000 crore Ghoramari plant , which will be spread over 150 acres , earlier this month . The Nameri national park and Sonai Rupai wildlife sanctuary are located close to the plant , nearly 200 km northeast of the state capital . The plant aims to become operational by next March . It will have the capacity to produce nearly 1 million metric tonnes of goods a year and provide direct employment to 5 , 000 people . The incident shouldn ' t have happened . We have many local contractors working at the site . We will inquire into the incident and take appropriate action , Patanjali spokesperson SK Tijarawala said . The death highlighted forest officials ' inability to rescue and provide immediate treatment to wild elephants . Last month , an injured elephant died in Nagaon district after it remained stuck in deep slush for over a week . We don ' t have enough specialised doctors or personnel . Efforts are underway to recruit more people on contract to ensure such incidents don ' t recur , the forest minister said . Assam has nearly 6 , 000 elephants in the wild and incidents of manelephant conflicts because of shrinking forests are common .
