Wild Boar Attacks in Gorkha Leave Over 10 Injured

April 24, Gorkha – More than 10 people have been injured in wild boar attacks in Ranadi Tole, Gorkha Municipality-11, according to local reports. The incidents have occurred over a span of two days. Some of the injured are currently receiving treatment at the provincial hospital in Gorkha, while others have returned home after receiving care.

Local resident Kumar Amgai reported that the area is experiencing a wave of boar attacks. The boars have been ambushing people traveling along the road from Tehrakilo to Chewetar. “Three members of my household were bitten,” he said, “and neighbors as well as passersby on the road have also been attacked.” He added that motorcyclists, in particular, seem to be targeted.

“Yesterday, a person riding a scooter was bitten by a boar, causing him to fall. When we went to see what had happened, we were also attacked,” Amgai explained. He noted that the boars have been attacking anyone moving along this route in groups, creating significant fear among local residents.

The escalating wild boar menace has left residents of the area terrified, with many now afraid to even remain inside their homes. Amgai expressed concern, saying, “We don’t know where these boars came from nor have we located their den.” Despite informing the police, he claims that authorities have not taken appropriate action. Residents have therefore appealed to both the forest office and administrative bodies to address and resolve the problem promptly.
