Assam: Bee Attack At School In Karbi Anglong Leaves Students Injured

KHERONI: Several students at Bogarighat ME School in Assam's West Karbi Anglong were stung by bees from a big hive on a tree nearby. The attack caused confusion at the school for hours, and the headmaster was not present, so the students had no immediate help.

Local residents acted quickly by lighting fires to drive away the bees and using home remedies to ease the students' pain.

Community leaders and parents want the authorities to act fast to prevent this from happening again. They asked the education and forest departments to remove the bee hives and ensure safety for the students.

Meanwhile, earlier last year, around 15 voters, including women, were injured when a swarm of bees attacked the electorate who were in the queue to cast their votes at Barabill area of Tripura's Khowai district.

Election officials said that Fire and Emergency Service personnel rushed to the spot and shifted the affected voters to the Khowai district hospital, and after medical treatment, they were sent back to their homes. The bee attack caused nervousness and anxiety among the voters, and they ran away from the queue.

The Fire and Emergency Service personnel also destroyed the beehive near the polling station, set up in a government building. The voting later resumed after a brief halt at the polling station in Khowai assembly constituency under the Tripura East parliamentary constituency.
