In the past few months, ten people including nine children have been killed in wolf attacks in the Mahsi Tehsil area of Bahraich.
The forest department has captured the fifth wolf from a pack of six in Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich, where the animals are suspected of killing at least ten people and injuring several others in a short span.
In the past few months, 10 people, including nine children, have been killed in wolf attacks in the Mahsi Tehsil area of Bahraich. Out of these fatalities, seven took place within a 47-day period between July 17 and September.
Even though the forest teams have captured five wolves out of the pack of six, attacks continue in the area. Government has deployed heavy police force along with PAC and forest teams in the area.
The Panchayat Bhawan and primary schools have been converted into night shelters to protect residents from unsafe conditions. Approximately 35 affected villages have been divided into three sectors, with separate teams assigned to each sector. Along with all precautionary measures, patrolling teams were lighting firecrackers in the outskirts of the highly sensitive affected villages to prevent the wolves from entering residential areas.
