Elephants retirement age is 65
Kerala Forest Minister Binoy Viswam disclosed the rules for the proper upkeep of captive elephants in the state. As per the rules elephants should not be made to do any hard physical tasks after reaching retirement age. But they could be engaged in light jobs if a veterinary surgeon certifies their physical fitness.
The rules also insist elephants should not be marched on tarred roads during the summer. The maximum distance to be covered a day is 30 kilometers. Use of heavy and sharp shackles should be avoided. The animals should also be kept at a safe distance from fireworks displays, Viswam said.
