In a fatal incident of stray cattle menace, a woman died after being attacked by a bull at Maruti Nagar under the Dhauli police station in the city on Monday.
The deceased was identified as Bhabani Baral. According to reports, the animal attacked the woman when she was plucking flowers in the locality. She was critically injured in the incident and succumbed to her injuries before hospitalisation.
Later, locals nabbed the bull and informed the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) authorities. The animal had attacked several others in the area in the recent past, locals said.
The locals alleged that despite the accidents and attacks by the stray bulls in their locality and the city, the BMC has not taken any steps to curtail the menace.
