The forest department in Bahraich has started using teddy bears soaked in children’s urine as bait to lure wolves into traps. This strategy aims to protect villagers and children from wolf attacks. Thermal drones are being used to track the wolves’ locations, while fireworks and noise help drive them towards the traps.

Rahul Gandhi met wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia amid rumors they might run as Congress candidates in Haryana’s assembly elections. The Congress Central Election Committee has finalized 34 candidates, with the full list expected soon. Phogat and Punia had previously accused WFI chief Brij Bhushan Singh Sharan of sexual exploitation. The elections are scheduled for October 5.

Punia and Phogat were part of the protest over sexual harassment allegations against former BJP MP and then Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in 2023
