Overview

• A three-year-old girl, Sony, was dragged from her home in Baba Patav and died on the way to hospital after a Wednesday afternoon attack.
• The recent death toll stands at three children, with one child still missing and another three-year-old injured in a separate incident on Tuesday in Baba Bangla.
• Forest officers say prints at attack sites confirm wolves and describe daytime strikes as an unusual pattern that requires investigation.
• Multi-district operations include DFOs from Barabanki, Gonda and Shravasti, four sector patrols with about 32 teams, thermal drones, camera traps and nets.
• The district magistrate reports more than 20 forest teams and 21 Panchayat and Rural Development teams on the ground, while villagers patrol with sticks and demand swifter action as sugarcane and paddy fields hinder tracking.
