Calf Fitted with Innovative 'Krishna Limb' After Losing Leg in Border Shelling

In May 2025, a female calf named Gauri, just one and a half years old, lost her leg during heavy cross-border shelling by the Pakistan Army in Jammu and Kashmir. Gauri's owner, Rajesh, a tea seller from Fatehpur Samaria post in RS Pura, watched helplessly as the shelling destroyed his home and critically injured the calf.

Local veterinarians were hesitant to treat Gauri amid the escalating border tensions, and heavy rainfall further delayed her recovery. Desperate, Rajesh reached out to Dr. Tapesh Mathur, a renowned veterinarian from Rajasthan known for supporting disabled animals across India. Dr. Mathur undertook Gauri's treatment and successfully fitted her with the innovative 'Krishna Limb' prosthetic, restoring her mobility and dignity.
