Search continues in Bahraich to catch the remaining two wolves

Bahraich (Uttar Pradesh) (India), September 7 (ANI): A search operation is underway in Bahraich to hunt down the remaining two killer wolves. Four wolves have been caught so far. Drone footage taken from Harbaksh Purwa village on Saturday morning showed a vast area of ​​agricultural land under surveillance.

On Saturday morning, 2-3 kilometres from Harbaksh Purwa, forest officials carried out a search operation to capture the wolf, which was found here on Friday night, using thermal imaging drones.

The search for man-eating wolves in Bahrain has been intensified, dividing the entire area into four sectors and conducting continuous monitoring activities.

The disaster area of ​​30-35 kilometers was divided into four sectors. 165 forest service personnel, including senior officers, were sent to conduct the search operation.

The Forest Department, Police Department and District Administration have partnered to conduct night patrols in the affected areas, which has helped avoid any incidents at night.

Forest department director general Sanjay Pathak said forest officials and other officials are on alert after the casualties were reported. “Forest officials and other officials are on alert after the casualties were reported. Drones are being used to catch the wolves. Four wolves have been caught so far and cameras have been installed everywhere to track the wolves,” Pathak said.

Pathak, however, noted that tracking wolves is difficult because 90 percent of information received from the public is false.

“We have received information from people about wolves, but 90 percent of them are false. I want to appeal to people to give us information only when they actually see a wolf, otherwise the search teams will be exhausted and the moment the wolf actually appears, we will not be able to do anything,” he added.

Meanwhile, Renu Singh, Chief Conservator Forest Central Zone, told ANI that all resources for wolf rescue are being monitored and instructions have been issued to minimise response time in case a wolf is spotted. Thermal drones are being used to locate the wolves.

“All wolf rescue resources are being monitored and instructions are being issued to minimise response time in case of wolves being spotted. The Forest Department, Police Department and District Administration have tied up to conduct night patrols in the affected areas which has not resulted in any incidents during the night. Thermal drones are being used to locate the wolves,” Singh said.

The search operations were launched after a three-year-old girl was killed and two other women were injured in a wolf attack, sparking anger among residents who blamed the administration for negligence. (ANI)
