A total of 404 sheep died after being struck by an express train.
"The incident occurred around 2.15am on Saturday. Our flock of around 600 sheep, belonging to seven shepherds from Bankat village under Bihiya police station, was tethered in an agricultural field. When heavy rain began, wild jackals and stray dogs attacked. Frightened, the sheep bolted towards the nearby railway track. More than 400 were run over by a speeding train, and several others were injured," said shepherd Bharat Pal, speaking alongside six other affected herders.
The shepherds estimated each sheep's value at around Rs 8,000, meaning the loss from the death of 404 animals was substantial. Sheep rearing is their sole source of income.
Shahpur MLA Rahul Tiwari visited Bankat village, promising to seek compensation for the affected families and offering them some financial assistance.
A govt veterinary doctor from Bihiya treated several injured sheep on Saturday morning and carried out a post-mortem on one. A team from Ara railway police also visited the site and began an investigation.
