The video has accumulated more than 52,000 views on Twitter. While a few social media users were impressed with the dedication of the workers at the reserve, some also pointed out that the elephants should not be chained.

Indian Forest officer Surender Mehra commented, "Theppakadu in #Mudumalai is one of the best places to visit to see the management of camp elephants."

A user commented, "All this is very well but why are these poor elephants in chains & tethered? If it's an animal reserve then surely these elephants should be roaming free & able to feed themselves on their natural food? Sorry, but no kudos, unless they're injured. What are these elephants used for?"
