Man-eater suspected to have moved into TN's Mudumalai reserve
NILGIRIS: Upon information of suspected movement of the man-eater tiger from Lauriston in the O-Valley forest range into the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR), a cage has been set up at Halala Estate, located along the MTR border.
The cage was set up by relocating one of the 13 that had been placed in the surroundings of O-Valley, where the big cat had killed two persons on August 9 and August 21.
The decision to shift one of the cages was taken following a recommendation by a committee comprising the DFO, veterinarians and a nominee of the chief wildlife warden. The committee was formed as per the guidelines of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) to capture the tiger.
