The officials further said that 16 CCTV camera traps were installed and animal trackers were deployed to track the movement of the tiger.

The officials suspected that the tiger was searching for a female companion as it was mating season for the carnivores.  They informed that the tiger inhabiting the forests of neighboring Maharashtra’s Kinwat initially drifted towards Boath of Adilabad district and subsequently entered the forests of Kuntala and Sarangapur.

Meanwhile, villagers of Burugupalli, Gaidpalli, and many forest fringe villages in Mamada mandal are on the edge following the movement of the tiger. They urged the forest officials to take steps to prevent human loss.  Farmers are hesitating to harvest cotton produce fearing being attacked by the tiger.  (Maxim News)
