Sangareddy: Sighting of three crocodiles at Yenkepally lake in Sadasivapet mandal has created panic among fishermen.
The fishermen, who ventured into the lake on Monday for fishing, found two crocodiles at one place and another crocodile at another corner of the lake.
Fearing an attack by crocodiles, the fishermen decided to stay away from fishing activity as they did not know how many crocodiles had made the lake their home.
They urged the government to free the lake from crocodiles. Otherwise, they feared that the crocodiles may attack humans and cattle, which regularly visit the lake to quench their thirst.
