Farmer injured in gaur attack in Kolhapur
Kolhapur: Like any other day, 55-year-old Balu Kushappa Sawat had gone harvesting sugar cane on the banks of Jambhali river on Thursday. Absorbed in work, the farmer from Kaljavde village in Panhala tehsil didn't notice a gaur (Indian bison) charging toward him.
The animal lunged at him, tossed him into the air and its deadly horns pierced deep into Sawat's ribs on his left.
His wails of searing pain drew nearby farmers, who rushed him to Kolhapur's CPR Hospital.
Gaur attacks are on a rise in the area and reports of injuries to farmers have become more frequent the last few months.
Bazar Bhogaon forest ranger RS Rasal, Panhala range forest officer Ajit Mali and forest guards Pooja Narute, Bhujanga Patil and Shankar Patil visited Sawat at CPR Hospital.
Rasal said, "Farmers should be careful while going to the fields or taking cattle for grazing. We carried out a panchnama. The injured person is in stable condition. Medical compensation will be given to after the approval of authorities."

Man dies in hit-and-run incident in Delhi's Vasant Kunj
Representative Image NEW DELHI: A 27-year-old man died in a hit-and-run incident after his motorcycle was struck by a car in South West Delhi's Vasant Kunj area. The accident occurred on June 7 around 10 PM near Shiv Murti on NH-8. The victim, identified as Ashish Kumar, was initially taken to a hospital in Gurugram and later shifted to Safdarjung Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead. Following the incident, a case was registered at the Vasant Kunj South police station under Sections 281 (rash driving or riding on a public way) and 106(1) (causing death by negligence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Deputy commissioner of Police (Southwest) Amit Goel formed an investigative team led by Inspector Arvind Pratap Singh. The team conducted a detailed examination of the accident site. However, due to dense traffic and the absence of CCTV cameras near the location, no immediate evidence was found. Despite these challenges, the team carried out a systematic probe. They scanned all vehicles operating along NH-8 from Mahipalpur to the Gurugram border, eventually shortlisting over 20 vehicles. CCTV footage collected from IFFCO Chowk in Gurugram helped narrow down the exact vehicle involved in the collision. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?
