Kanha National Park<\/a> and even after coming close to death, he never thought of distancing himself from the wildlife. After getting recovered, he got back to his duty and today he is serving as a forest guard in the Kisli range.<\/p>\nTaking a Step Back to Know the History of Bison\u2019s Attack on Mahesh<\/h3>\n
As per the information, Mahesh Markam has been working in the Kanha National Park since 2003. But it was in the year 2007 that his attachment and love for wildlife took an unfortunate turn and brought him close to death. It was in the month of August when a wild census was going on in the forest and as Mahesh was walking a Bison attacked him from behind. The horn of this wild animal entered straight into the stomach. Besides, other part of the body also got injured during the attack.<\/p>\n
During this incident, the camp watcher Mahadev was with Mahesh and with his help, Mahesh somehow managed to inform the senior officials about the incident and his situation on the wireless. Mahesh waited for three long hours for help, kept fighting for life but didn\u2019t lose hope.<\/p>\n
The Second Birth of Mahesh<\/h3>\n
Soon the forest officers arrived and took Mahesh to the district hospital. After looking at his critical condition, the doctors of the district hospital referred Mahesh to the hospital in Jabalpur. It took around 8 hours to travel from Kanha to Jabalpur but God\u2019s grace was with him that he kept breathing.<\/p>\n
Upon reaching Jabalpur, Mahesh\u2019s condition was so critical, that the doctors in Jabalpur\u2019s hospital too said that there was no hope for his survival. But he underwent emergency surgery and got saved. It won\u2019t be wrong to say that Mahesh got a new life or this was his second birth.<\/p>\n
Recovered and Took Over the Duty Again<\/h3>\n
After the surgery, Mahesh was in the hospital for about two and a half months and after recovering resumed his duty. If Mahesh wanted, he could have simply started again working in the core area or office after this accident, but it was his love for the wildlife that made him start his duty again in the Kisli range. It has now been 12 years to the incident Mahesh is still not distracted and will continue to work for the wildlife as long as he can.<\/p>\n
The Love and Respect for Mahesh<\/h3>\n
Mahesh has won everyone\u2019s heart after this incident, especially the officers of Kanha National Park and his colleagues. Not only it shows his bravery but also his passion for his duty which is worth praising.<\/p>\n
Mahesh struggled between life and death and even after facing such a terrible incident, he is sincerely doing his duty. Hats off to his bravery and courage to overcome such dreadful attack of the wild animal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
