Residents voice concern after sighting of wild boar at Taljai Hill
1 2 Pune: Residents living in the vicinity of Taljai Hill near Sahakarnagar have voiced concern over the sighting of a wild boar in the area on Monday morning. They have urged the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) authorities to check whether there are other wild boars on the hill. "Many morning walkers visit the hill daily and wild boars can cause harm to the visitors. Attacks on people cannot be ruled out," said Nitin Kadam, a local activist. The PMC official said they would visit the site and take necessary measures in association with the forest department.

Around 650 acres of the hill are under the jurisdiction of the forest department and 400 acres under PMC. A fire had broken out on the hill in Feb this year. Amey Godse, an environment lover, said, "Though the forest is a natural habitat for the boar, it is surprising to see it in Taljai. The animal is very aggressive and the possibility of it attacking humans cannot be ruled out. So, if a wild boar was found at Taljai, the morning walkers should be more vigilant." "It is a good sign that the boar was seen. Citizens as well as the authorities should create more awareness about the presence of the animal," said Sanjay Athavale, an environment lover. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Compare Spreads: Bitcoin vs Ethereum CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo Residents said citizens from Sahakarnagar, Satara Road, and even from Wadgaon areas visit Taljai Hill daily.

Audio reveals ordeal of tourists stranded in dark inside R'bore
1 2 Jaipur: An audio recording between a woman tourist and a tour operator has revealed the harrowing experience of those who were left stranded inside Ranthambore Tiger Reserve Saturday evening after their Canter safari vehicle broke down deep within the forest. According to the recorded conversation, the group was stuck for nearly one hour and forty-five minutes in an area known as a three-tiger territory (zone-6). The woman recounted that the vehicle failed around 6pm, plunging the tourists into panic. With no mobile network to call for help, the situation grew tense. The guide, she alleged, abandoned the group altogether, taking a lift from another vehicle to exit the park. By 7pm, no rescue had arrived. The woman said one of the tourists, Mohit, managed to reach the main entry gate by requesting another vehicle and pleaded for assistance, stressing that his seven-month-old child was among those stranded. However, when he appealed to a Canter driver for help, the driver allegedly demanded full payment before agreeing. At the chowki, staff reportedly dismissed his pleas, telling him it was not their responsibility. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When Knee Pain Hits, Start Eating These Foods, and Feel Your Pain Go Away (It's Genius) Read More Undo Relief came only between 7.30pm and 7.45pm when another Canter finally arrived.

Fortunately, no wild animal appeared during the ordeal," the woman said. In the wake of the incident, action was taken. Forest department banned three Canter drivers and one guide until further orders. An inquiry was also ordered, with the assistant conservator of forests (tourism) directed to submit a report within three days. The order was issued by the deputy conservator of forests (tourism).

Locals lie on cot over garbage to slam LMC
Lucknow: Residents of Sitapur Road staged a protest under the Madiyaon flyover on Monday against the continuous dumping of garbage, accusing the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) of neglect. In an unusual demonstration, they placed a cot on top of a waste heap, lay on it and shouted slogans against the LMC. The protest was led by Ajit Kumar Maurya, who said the dump had become a health hazard. "People are forced to live amid stench and filth. Despite repeated complaints, no solution has come. Instead of sending officials, the police were sent to disperse us," he said. Maurya alleged that waste from across Lucknow was being dumped at the site. "In Faizullaganj alone nearly 100 people are battling malaria and dengue. During rain, this garbage flows onto the road and blocks it. We appeal to the MLA of the area, mayor and municipal commissioner to resolve this," he added. Residents expressed anger that MLA Neeraj Bora's office is located barely 500 metres away. "We complained thousands of times but he never listened. They think ordinary people can continue to suffer while garbage piles up outside our homes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 3 casino games in Coventry - No download needed Lounge 777 Play Game Undo The administration is complicit and hospitals are already short of beds," said Anil Kumar.
