Royal Bengal Tiger roams village in northeastern India, injures two
by Bhagyashree BarmanAs northeastern India’s Assam battles a severe flood crisis, a new threat of Royal Bengal Tiger has emerged there.
The incident took place in Nagaon’s Zengani village, Nagaon district on July 3.
Visuals showed the tiger wandering through a paddy field, with villagers screaming in fear.
According to reports, the big cat has reportedly attacked and injured two residents, identified as Abdul Aziz and Akhtar Ali Hussain. Both men survived the attack but sustained serious injuries. They were quickly transported to a nearby hospital by fellow villagers, according to local police reports.
The floodwaters have likely displaced the tiger from its natural habitat, forcing it into human settlements in search of food and shelter. The incident has added another layer of distress to an already dire situation in Assam, where residents are grappling with the devastating impact of the floods.
Authorities are working to manage the situation and ensure the safety of the villagers while efforts are being made to track and relocate the tiger to a safer area. The public is urged to stay vigilant and report any sightings of wild animals to the local authorities immediately.
