On Monday morning, a bison was running aimlessly in the agricultural fields and rural roads of North and South Maheshpur Panchayat area under Boxanagar, Kathalia block area.

The bison ran along the IBB road adjacent to the wire fence area and even entered some houses. Due to shouting and screaming of local people, the bison increased ransacking, as it could enter the forest.

However, Forest department staff are trying to bring it under control. Miking is being done by Jatrapur police station to keep common people alert and have safe shelter.

Allegedly, the bison migrated from the protected forest area of Trishna Sanctuary to the locality.

A woman was last reported seriously injured by the bison. Currently, she has been taken to Kathalia Primary Health Centre.
Subrata Debnath, police officer of Jatrapur police station, said that miking is being done to keep people alert and paramilitary forces are also monitoring the situation.
Common people are very worried about the situation in Kathalia.
