Wolf attacks in UP leave 6 dead, 25+ injured since September
Since September 9, a series of wolf attacks in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, have left six people dead and more than 25 injured, affecting both adults and kids across multiple villages.
The attacks continued into mid-October, with a woman and two children among the latest victims.
It's been a tough and frightening time for the local communities.
Forest department's response to the crisis
To tackle the crisis, the UP Forest Department has set up a command center, divided the area into six sectors, and deployed 21 task forces along with drones, camera traps, and CCTV cameras.
Three wolves have been killed (with only one carcass recovered), and one injured wolf remains at large.
Villagers have been urged to stay indoors at night, and those injured are being treated at a special hospital ward.
Veterinary teams with tranquilizer guns are also on standby to help capture the remaining wolves.
