School-going girl faints seeing big cat at one village; cow killed in another village
Is the captured feline same as the one that killed two persons, wonder villagers
Ponnampet/ Srimangala: The tiger that is believed to have killed two people in
South Kodagu within a span of 12 hours on Saturday night and Sunday morning was captured by Forest Department last afternoon after villagers staged protest and a bandh demanding the feline’s capture. It is a nine-year-old tigress.
The Department was under severe pressure to finally act after the deaths of humans. The area has faced the menace since over a year but the Department had not taken any action despite the big cats killing more than 80 cattle heads.
