Madhuri will return to Nandani! CM Fadnavis' meeting with Vantara, what was the decision?
Mumbai: After the Supreme Court's order, Madhuri the elephant from Mahadevi Math in Nandani, Kolhapur has been sent to Vantara. However, this is being strongly opposed by all Kolhapur residents including Nandani. All Kolhapur residents have taken to the streets to bring Madhuri back to Nandani. Now the state government has also taken the initiative for this and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has given an important update in this regard.

Also, during this discussion, he told me that we only followed the decision of the Hon. Supreme Court and we had no attempt to take possession of the Mahadevi elephant. Vantara has also shown its readiness to provide all possible assistance to the state government in setting up a rehabilitation center for this Mahadevi elephant at a site selected by the Forest Department near Nandani Math in Kolhapur district. He also said that we respect the religious sentiments of various communities, the Chief Minister said.
