The&nbsp;Union Ministry of Environment, Forest &amp; Climate Change has recommended the withdrawal of elephant rides at Jaipur's Amer Fort and Haathi&nbsp;Gaon&nbsp;in a phased manner and to replace it with electric or battery-operated vehicles.&nbsp;
"The declining trend of tourists on elephant rides and ageing animals are indicators for changes. The owners of the elephants also may be rehabilitated suitably in such situations. The new addition of elephants for rides should be completely banned," the report added.
The committee noted in its report that of the 98 captive elephants inspected, 22 suffered from irreversible eye problems and 42 had foot problems, including overgrown nails and flat footpads due to walking on concrete roads.
"These landmark scientific and humane recommendations mean that the days of using ageing, ailing elephants as toys for tourists are numbered," PETA India CEO Dr Manilal Valliyate said.
