Villagers have been cautioned against carrying out rituals in the local river.

Authorities attempting to reduce the number of people eaten by crocodiles near a busy river have installed unusual warning signs.

So far in 2022, the hungry reptiles have killed three people in the Kali River in Dandeli, India.

In an effort to put an end to the horror, the local government decided against removing the beasts and instead installed new warning signs.

Visitors will be warned not to feed the crocs, not to take their children near the water’s edge, and not to swim at all.

According to a Haliyal Forest Division official, “aside from tourists, several devotees come to Haliyal.”

“The signs will warn people about the potential presence of crocodiles in the area.”

According to experts, the recent croc attacks are the result of recent river work that has partially destroyed their natural habitat.

On June 9, Ilham, 49, was dropping off local tourists when he suffered a flat tyre and got his hands dirty changing the wheel at the Sinka Zoo in West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia.

Ilham reached into a nearby pool, oil on his palms, to wash away the dirt.

When a crocodile leapt from the water and sank its teeth into his elbow, he screamed in agony.

A second beast then appeared and grabbed his arm.
