-- Samir Umarye BICHOLIM JAN 18:
Five persons including the ex-sarpanch of Mayem were seriously injured when they were attacked by honeybees on Monday morning at Jambhulbhat Mayem. According to the information available, a group of persons which included former sarpanch Tulshidas Chodankar, Ravindra Govekar, Laxmi Govekar and others two were standing by the roadside near Mahamaya high school when they were suddenly attacked by honey bees. Chodankar however managed to escape the bites with some minor injuries as he ran for safety but Ravindra and Laxmi were seriously injured due to the bites. They were rushed to the primary health centre and later discharged after treatment. It may be recalled that, one John Dias from Bairo-Alto Bicholim was died due to massive bites of honey bees last one and half year back.
