Bahraich, September 14: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will visit Bahraich district on Sunday to meet the families affected by the wolf attack. According to the Chief Minister Office, CM Yogi will also hold a meeting with officials and public representatives. Meanwhile, forest department officials are putting in all efforts to capture the sixth "killer" wolf under the 'Operation Bhediya' campaign that was launched in the State to capture a pack of six wolves that have killed nine people and injured 50 people since July this year.
Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) of Bahraich, Ajit Singh said on Friday, "There was no water in these farms. And it has not been raining, yet water is rising in these farms. So, this has narrowed its (wolf's) area of movement. Now, we can ask the residents here and find out which areas never get affected by rising water and flood-like situations. And carry out our search operation there." On September 13, two women in Mahasi village were injured in an attack allegedly by a wolf.
