The operation has received the green light from a High-Powered Committee appointed by the Tripura High Court, with oversight from the Supreme Court. The rescued group includes 10 male and 8 female elephants, one sub-adult and a calf. These elephants have faced years of exploitation, forced labour, and abuse within the logging sector. Upon their arrival at Vantara, they will live in a chain-free environment that replicates their natural habitat.
