Forest department rescues crocodile

Speaking about the incident, Amit Kumar said he first spotted the crocodile while working in his paddy field. “We safely captured it. I first went to the Forest Department office in Kataiya, but found no staff there. I then took the crocodile to Bhimnagar police station. The police personnel immediately informed the Forest Department,” ETV Bharat quoted Kumar as saying.

After being informed by the police, a Forest Department team arrived at the station and rescued the crocodile. Following the required inspection and formalities, officials released it safely into the Kosi River. Authorities said special care was taken throughout the rescue operation to ensure the animal was not injured, the report said.

The Forest Department also urged residents not to attempt to catch or harm wild animals if they are spotted. Instead, people should immediately inform the Forest Department or local administration so trained rescue teams can safely handle the situation, officials said.
