In a tragic turn of events, a woman was dragged into a pond by a crocodile in the Kendrapara district of Odisha, which led to her premature death. The accident happened in Hatiyagadi village which is under Rajanagar massif.
The woman, named Sita Das, was washing dishes in the pond when the crocodile attacked her. When she did not return home, her family called the fire department, fearing the worst. After an extensive search, Sita’s body is tragically discovered in the nearby pond.
The news of the incident raised a lot of tension in the region. Locals blamed the management for the tragedy and closed the Rajnagar-Antarkanika road in protest. Local officials in Tehsildar and the Forestry Department arrived at the scene, promising compensation and efforts to bring the situation under control.
We have made many complaints, but the local administration has not taken any steps to protect lives and property. “We demand a permanent solution,” said one local resident.
Earlier, a young boy from Nimbur village in Pattamundai was killed by a crocodile. His mutilated body was found on 14 June.
