Pune, Sept. 12 -- Elephant Madhuri, popularly known as Mahadevi in Kolhapur, is expected to return to Kolhapur by 11.30 pm after spending more than a year in Vantara in Gujarat's Jamnagar run by Radhe Krishna Temple Elephant Welfare Trust (RKTWET). As the elephant passed through Pune, citizens showered flowers on the vehicle carrying her. In Kolhapur, hundreds of people have gathered near the Math to give Madhuri a grand welcome and celebrate her return. In a two-page statement, Vantara said the high powered committee (HPC) on September 9 ordered Madhuri's return to the facility of the Swastishri Jinsen Bhattarak Pattacharya Mahaswami Sanstha Math at Nandani in Kolhapur. The 15-member HPC is headed by retired Justice Deepak Verma and was appointed by the Supreme Court. "The HPC heard the claims of the parties, inspected the facilities at Nandani and examined the reports before ordering her return. It has laid down strict conditions, including that she cannot be used for any procession or any other purpose. She will receive constant care and a medical examination every fortnight," Vantara said. Madhuri travelled to Kolhapur in a specially equipped elephant ambulance accompanied by members of Vantara's veterinary and care team....
