Turtle returns, rescued

PANJIM, July 4 - The recently released Olive Ridley turtle with a single flipper returned back to the state's coastline and was rescued at Miramar beach this afternoon. The matter was reported by locals to Panjim Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) who rushed to the site and thereafter handed over the turtle to the forest department. It is reported that the turtle appears unfit with its lone flipper also showing signs of deterioration. If one recalls, the injured olive ridley was retrieved earlier this month and released after brief treatment.
