Bahraich district of UP is in the news, the reason is the terror of wolves. These man-eating wolves have killed 9 people including a woman so far. However, four wolves have been caught. Now the remaining two wolves are yet to be caught. Because, the administration says that only a group of 6 wolves is continuously carrying out these incidents. But the villagers do not agree with this. They believe that the number of wolves is more than this.
According to the news agency, many villagers of Mahsi tehsil of Bahraich said that the number of wolves in the area could be 9 to 10. If all of them are not caught, they can attack anytime. This will create an atmosphere of terror. Meanwhile, Chief Forest Conservator Central Zone Renu Singh said yesterday that so far 4 wolves have been caught, 2 wolves are left, efforts are on to catch them. Soon they will be caught and the atmosphere of fear in the area will end.
