Tragic Deer Massacre at Chhattisgarh Rescue Centre

A tragic incident occurred at an animal rescue centre in Chhattisgarh's Surguja district, where stray dogs killed 15 deer. The attack happened at Sanjay Van Vatika, a facility managed by the forest department, which also allows public visits.

In response to the incident, four forest officials, including Deputy Ranger Ashok Sinha, were suspended for alleged negligence. The forest department confirmed that the deer died due to dog bites. An inquiry led by the Sub-Divisional Officer (Forest) in Ambikapur is ongoing, with strict action promised against those responsible.

This event raises concerns about the security of animal enclosures and the responsibilities of those managing wildlife facilities, prompting a call for stricter measures to prevent such tragedies.
