In the damp, shaded crevices of the Ayodhya Hills, where some of earth’s earliest land plants still quietly endure, scientists have discovered a species so minute it measures barely a millimetre in width — yet momentous enough to bear the name of Bengal’s iconic reformer, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar.
Buddha Purnima this year was celebrated without causing any harm to the wild animals at the annual tribal jungle hunting festival in Ayodhya Hills, Purulia.
All the victims are residents of the same village. Ramdas Hansda (50), Behar Besra (55), Chunaram Kisku (35) were killed on the spot.
Several hundreds of tribal hunters from all over the country are expected to come to Ayodhya Hills this year for the ‘shikar utsav’.
