# Two blackbucks rescued from 70-foot-deep well in Karnataka 2026-08-08T22:48:49+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Forest officials in Karnataka’s Chikkaballapur district rescued two blackbucks (Indian antelopes) after they fell into a nearly 70-foot-deep open well in Jagatanahalli village, Chintamani taluk. Landowner Bhimaraddi spotted the trapped animals and alerted the department. With help from local villagers, officials used ropes to pull both antelopes to safety. After a health check, the animals were released into the forest. A forest official said the blackbucks may have strayed into the village looking for food and water. Rising temperatures and inadequate water sources in nearby forests are increasingly forcing wildlife into human settlements. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: blackbuck, Chintamani, Karnataka, Rescue, well, wildlife Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/two-blackbucks-rescued-from-70-foot-deep-well-in-karnataka/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
