about the gallery

The recent death of a 12-year-old boy in Maharashtra’s Sangli district by a crocodile has brought the focus back on the crocodile population in Krishna river that poses a threat to the villagers living along it. Locals have been asked to avoid entering the river. The villagers have devised their own ways of keeping themselves safe. Now, the fishing community along the river fishes only at night, and women wash clothes only in groups.
