In UP’s Bahraich district, wolves continue to remain out of forest officials’ grasp, as a large-scale search operation is underway to capture a pack of wolves.
So Far, four wolves have been captured, but officials are still working to locate and apprehend the remaining members of the pack.
As per General Manager of the Forest Department Sanjay Pathak, drones are being employed in the ongoing search effort.
