Viral video of crocodile dragging woman in river highlights human-croc conflict in Odisha

Bhubaneswar, 7 Oct (UNI) The disturbing video footage of a furious saltwater crocodile lunging at a 55-year-old woman and dragging her into a river in Odisha’s Jajpur district has gone viral, drawing attention to the ongoing human-crocodile conflict plaguing countless riverside villages in this coastal state.
The crocodile emerged suddenly and attacked Soudamini Mohala, who had gone to the bathing ghat on the Kharasrota River to wash utensils. The victim, a resident of Bodua village under the Binjharpur police station limits in Jajpur district, struggled desperately to free herself from the reptile’s grip, but her efforts were in vain.
Terrified villagers at the ghat watched helplessly, unable to rescue the screaming woman from the crocodile’s powerful hold. The horrifying incident, captured on a villager’s mobile phone, has since gone viral on social media, highlighting the grim plight of people living in these areas who continue to battle the growing crocodile menace.
