New Delhi: The issue of stray cattle causing disruptions and entering public spaces continues to escalate, particularly in Uttar Pradesh. Recent incidents have highlighted the severity of the problem, with stray animals, including bulls, posing risks to public safety and infrastructure. In yet another concerning development, a stray bull found its way into a hospital in Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh.

Viral image sparks alarm

A photograph circulating on social media depicts a stray bull calmly standing inside a hospital ward, surrounded by patients and their relatives. The image, which surfaced on Tuesday morning, underscores the vulnerability of public spaces to stray animal intrusions. Patients and hospital staff were taken aback by the unexpected presence of the bull within the hospital premises.

Authorities on alert

Fortunately, the stray bull did not display any aggressive behavior or cause harm to anyone before leaving the premises. However, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers associated with stray animals roaming freely in urban areas. Authorities have been urged to implement measures to prevent such occurrences and safeguard public spaces, including hospitals, schools, and banks, from stray animal intrusions.

Urgent need for protection measures

Instances of stray bulls entering banks and even climbing onto residential rooftops have been reported in recent times, further highlighting the urgency of addressing the issue. In one incident, a stray bull ventured into a State Bank of India branch in Unnao, triggering panic among customers and staff. Similarly, another bull managed to access the terrace of a residential property in Jalaun, causing alarm among occupants before being safely removed by local authorities.
