Wolf menace must be stopped at any cost: CM
Bahraich, Sept. 28 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said people of the Kaiserganj tehsil in Bahraich must be freed from the terror of wolves at any cost.
The CM instructed the forest department to either capture or eliminate the wolves responsible for harming people, if capture was unsuccessful. "People must be freed from this menace at any cost," he said, adding that no corner of the affected areas should be left unpatrolled.
During his visit to the affected Majara Takuli village in Kaiserganj, the CM expressed deep sorrow over the death of four children in wolf attacks, which also left 16 people injured. He met the families of children killed and injured in the attacks. He announced Rs.5 lakh compensation for the families of those killed and Rs.50,000 financial aid to the injured, along with free treatment and mandatory anti-rabies vaccination.

He further instructed the administration to ensure improved lighting. The CM said 1,437 LED lights, 607 streetlights, and 91 solar lights have already been installed in the area to safeguard people. He directed the officials to conduct a special campaign to provide housing, doors, and toilets to vulnerable families.
The CM said 21 task forces-comprising panchayat assistants, rozgar sewaks, sanitary workers, revenue staff, and police personnel-were already working to spread awareness and protect villagers. Recalling last year's attacks in Mahsi, he said the government successfully contained them, and this time the Kaiserganj region would be freed from the crisis soon.
During an aerial survey, Yogi spotted two wild animals believed to be behind the latest attacks. "Every possible effort is being made, and the government stands firmly with the victims' families," he assured....
