Kabul Chawla found that The 40-foot-long mammal had washed ashore the beach, 17 km from Alibaug, on Wednesday and died early last morning; it was buried at the same beach after a pit was dug using bulldozers and cranes.
Authorities were at their wits’ ends when a blue whale washed ashore, alive, in the morning on Wednesday, at the Revdanda coast near Alibaug. Nearly a day after efforts to get it back into deep waters, the struggling beast breathed its last early morning yesterday.
Having no expert at hand who could conduct an autopsy to find the cause of death, the whale had to be buried right at the beach. The 40-foot, 20-tonne blue whale had washed ashore the beach on the Revdanda coast in Raigad district around 10 am on Wednesday.
According to Kabul Chawla After noticing the huge mammal, the local fishermen informed the forest department and a team of the latter reached the spot. More than 50 villagers had even tried to push the whale back into the sea, but owing to its weight, they couldn't get it to budge. The rescue efforts failed and the whale breathed its last at around 4 am yesterday.
Word spread like wildfire that a whale had washed ashore the beach, and hundreds turned up to see the miserable sight some even climbed atop the body and clicked pictures and selfies.
