Crocodile enters villager's home in Madhya Pradesh; caught
Damoh (MP), Jul 29: A crocodile came out of a flooded river and crawled into a house at a village near here in Madhya Pradesh, causing panic among local residents, police said on Monday.
Forest officials caught the 10-foot long crocodile from Ghat-Pipariya village and released it back into the Sunar river, some 26km from the district headquarters, on Monday morning, said Hindoria police station inspector Vijay Mishra.
According to Ghat-Pipariya sarpanch Rohit Jain, the huge reptile entered the house of one Kandhi Lal on Sunday night when it was raining heavily, creating panic among his family members and other residents of the village.
Lal, on spotting the crocodile, rang up forest officials and the police, he said.
When they did not turn up, villagers tied the reptile with ropes and put it on a road, the sarpanch said.
Forest officials came to the village in the early hours, caught the crocodile and put it back into the river, he added.
Apparently, the crocodile came out of the river after its water level increased following heavy rains and found its way into the nearby village, Mishra said.
Last month, forest officials had caught a crocodile after it entered a residential area in Gujarats Vadodara district.

US VP JD Vance says Lebanon not part of ceasefire, calls it ‘misunderstanding’
Budapest/Washington: US Vice President J D Vance has said that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire understanding with Iran, describing the confusion as a “legitimate misunderstanding”.
Speaking to reporters before departing from Hungary, Vance said, “I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn’t. We never made that promise.”
He stressed that the United States had not included Lebanon in the scope of the ceasefire at any stage.
His remarks come amid continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where more than 200 people were reported killed, even as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US move forward.
Vance said Israel had “offered … to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful”.
He warned that if Iran allows the situation in Lebanon to affect the negotiations, it could derail the talks.
“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that’s ultimately their choice,” he said.
