In an unforeseen clash, at least 47 officials from the police, forest, and revenue departments sustained injuries following an attack by a 500-strong mob in Gujarat's Banaskantha district on Saturday afternoon.

The incident unfolded as a joint team undertook nursery and plantation work within the forest department's designated area. The precise motivations behind the assault remain unclear, but its impact was immediate.

While the injured are reported to be in stable condition, authorities have yet to determine the underlying causes of this sudden eruption of violence in the otherwise tranquil region.
