Earlier this month, residents also reported crocodile sightings near Kishan Bagh, Asad Baba Nagar, and Chaitanyapuri. Locals believe the rising water levels from Himayat Sagar have allowed crocodiles to move more freely along the river.
People living along the banks voiced concern over safety. They said repeated sightings had created fear in the area.
