Man-Animal Conflict: Assam Forest Guards Kill Violent Wild Buffalo

In a rare man-animal conflict, Assam’s forest officials had shot dead a wild buffalo which had turned violent in Biswanath district. Reportedly, guards killed the animal on January 14 in self-defence, as it had gone wild killing two locals. The Kaziranga National park authorities suspect that the animal left its habitat due to the loud noise from the community fishing crowd gathered to celebrate Magha Bihu festival.
