The injured persons were admitted to nearby Gobara hospital, while those in serious condition shifted to the sub divisional hospital at Bhanjanagar and MKCG Medical College and Hospital here, divisional forest officer (DFO), Ghumusara North division, Rama Swamy P, said.
The boar might have attacked the people when they apparently tried to drive it away on Friday evening in order to save the standing vegetable crops in the nearby village, forest officials said.
The injured will be provided assistance as per the government provision, the DFO said.
"We have constituted squads to keep a watch in forest-side villages in the area on the movement of the wild boars," he stated.
Police personnel were also assisting forest staffs in patrolling.
