Injured Sita to undergo X-ray examinations at the site where she was shot.

Senior professor of Peradeniya University Veterinary Department, Asoka Dangolla, says that they have decided to use the X-ray machine belonging to the Wildlife Department as there is no suitable X-ray machine in the country to take the X-rays of the internal organs of the injured female elephant, 'Sitha.

He said that the relevant X-ray machine was brought from Colombo to Mahiyangana yesterday afternoon. Prof. Dangalla said that the X-ray examination will be carried out by a senior radiologist under the supervision of two veterinarians from the University of Peradeniya. Seven bullets have penetrated the body above the heart of 'Sita', and X-rays will depict how far they have penetrated into the body.
