People are worried
The festival of the Bhadrakali temple in Valavadi, which is located near the place where the tiger was found, has begun, and people are facing anxiety. A board was held last night and people were also involved in folk dance practice this morning. Despite this situation, the sighting of a tiger nearby has created concern and has also put the department under pressure.
DCF Abhishek informed that the forest department staff of Kushalnagar and Madikeri zones have jointly laid a trap to find the tiger. There have been reports of cattle deaths in this area in the last two months, but no trace of wildlife was found during the operation conducted by the department. Only one footprint of a small wild animal was found in one place, which was estimated to be that of a leopard. Now, after it was learned that a tiger is moving in this area, the search operation is underway. The tiger is approximately 2-3 years old, and permission has been obtained for its capture, Abhishek informed.
