The news headline is "राजगडवरील पर्यटकांवर आग्या मोहळाचा हल्ला" which translates to "Attack by a swarm of large honey bees on tourists at Rajgad Fort."
Here is a summary of the article:
Incident: Tourists visiting Rajgad Fort were attacked by a swarm of large honey bees (Aagya Mohal - a term for a hive of large, aggressive bees).
Casualties: More than ४० (40) tourists were injured, and two employees (sevak/karmachari) went missing.
When: The incident occurred on Sunday, December 5th, to Wednesday, December 8th (four days of continuous attacks mentioned).
Where: The attacks took place on the path to the fort and around Suvela Machi (a part of the fort).
Details of the Attack: The attack by the swarm of bees was sudden and massive. The suddenness caused a panic, and tourists started running. Some jumped into the bushes to save themselves.
Rescue and Treatment: The injured were rescued by forest department employees and locals. One tourist, Baburao Sawale from Talegaon Dabhade, who was severely stung, was admitted to a hospital in Velhe. More than २० (20) other injured tourists, including him, were injured.
Cause of the Attack: The attacks happen frequently. Rajgad Fort has a high population of monkeys. The monkeys disturb the beehives on the cliffs, causing the angry bees to attack the tourists. Tourists are advised to be cautious and avoid disturbing the beehives.
Status of the Missing Employees: The two missing employees were from the fort's caretaking and maintenance department. They went missing while running to save their lives from the bees.
