Uttara Kannada: Crocodile sneaks into residential area in Dandeli

Dandeli: A huge crocodile sneaked into a residential area on Haliyal Road in Dandeli on Thursday. However, local residents caught the crocodile and released it into Kali river.

It is said that despite being informed, none from the forest department turned up at the spot. River Kali, which flows at a short distance from the populated area, is home to a large number of crocodiles. They sneak into residential areas by crossing the parapet constructed by the forest department.
