Elephants entered the hospital ward in the army cantonment
How many times do you think you will bump into an elephant inside the hospital? Well, this rare encounter of patients and doctors happened at Jalpaiguri Military Hospital in West Bengal. Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Sushant Nanda posted a close-up shot of two wild elephants inside Binnaguri Army Camp Hospital. “The elephant in the room… from Jalpaiguri Cantonment,” he said while captioning the post.

The elephant is seen standing in the aisle for a while without moving, while shocked staff members take pictures.

This is their land and they want it back.” Another wrote, ‘Did someone address the elephant in the room?’ A third user wrote, “Here for a medical checkup,” commented a fourth user, “It was a surprise check to see if everything is okay in the hospital, from what I understand!”
