The Assam government has asserted that no elephants were transported outside in the recent past, dismissing speculations that a convoy of animal ambulances ferried jumbos from the Northeastern state.“I categorically state, with all the authority at my command, that the elephants shown being transported in vehicles over the last two days are not from Assam,” Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said in a post on X.
He was responding to a post by Mukrang Engti, the founder of Karbi Anglong Animal Welfare Society, on X in which he had sought clarification over media reports regarding the matter.
