Residents of Mostapur village in East Burdwan’s Katwa are largely staying indoors over fears of an untamed bull. Sources said forest and husbandry officials had not stepped in to help citing jurisdiction-related complications. Asked, forest beat officer Sukanta Ojha said: “What can we do with a stray bull? It is the jurisdiction of animal husbandry.”Block livestock officer Surajit Kundu said “we can’t do anything about a stray bull”. Soumen Pal, SDO (Katwa), said he had asked forest and animal husbandry officials “to take action jointly”.
