Sad that it had to come to this but human safety comes first. The thermal drones and multiple teams show good planning. Hope they find the remaining wolves soon before more tragedy strikes.

Very unfortunate situation. While I understand the need to protect human lives, I wish they could have tranquilized and relocated the animals. Wildlife is losing its habitat due to our expansion. 😔

The sugarcane and paddy fields providing cover for the wolves is a serious concern. Farmers and villagers need better protection measures. This is a wake-up call for better wildlife management in agricultural areas.

Good work by the forest department! Using thermal drones shows modern approach. The CM's visit shows political will. Hope the remaining wolves are caught soon and peace returns to Bahraich.

My heart goes out to the families who lost their loved ones, especially the children. No parent should have to go through this. The forest department must ensure this never happens again. 🕊️
