Bahraich (UP) Aug 20 (PTI) A spotted deer was overrun by a train near Dudhwa-Katarniyaghat national park here.
The deer was overrun by a passenger train near Bichiya railway station here yesterday, District Forest Officer (Katarniyaghat) R K Singh said today.
An FIR under the Wildlife Protection Act was lodged against the train driver and guard, he said.
Singh said railway authorities had issued directions to trains to slow down while passing through four sectors of Katarniyaghat region but it is not being followed.
Last year, a tiger was overrun by a train near here.
Meanwhile, the representative of the WWF Project Officer Dabir Hasan has taken strong exception over the incident and said that senior officials of WWF will meet the Railway minister on the issue.
