After this, the three surviving cubs and Jwala were continuously monitored by the doctors and monitoring team at Palpur. Since it was very hot on May 23, The temperature was around 46–47 degrees Celsius. In such a situation, seeing the unusual condition and heat of the three cubs, the team immediately decided to rescue them and give them treatment. But two cubs died. One cub is in critical condition. He is undergoing treatment at Palpur Hospital.
