Modi calls on ‘Elephant Whisperers’ Bomman and Bellie

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday visited the Theppakadu Elephant Camp in Mudumalai, where he interacted with mahouts and kavadis taking care of the captive elephants. At the camp, he fed sugarcane to elephants lined up to welcome the Prime Minister. Modi also appreciated indigenous couple Bomman and Bellie, who were featured in the Oscar winning film, The Elephant Whisperers. Their strong bonding with abandoned baby elephants Raghu and Bommi earned appreciation.
