Steps to capture tiger if found man-eater: Collector
Udhagamandalam: The administration will take necessary steps to capture a tiger, which mauled a tribal woman to death in Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) if it is found to be a man-eater, the Nilgiris district collector Innocent Divya said on Tuesday.
"We have asked the Forest department to place 40 surveillance cameras in the area to monitor the movement of the tiger. However, we do not know whether it is a man-eater," she told reporters here.
The 50-year-old woman was found mauled to death in the MTR in Nilgiris district yesterday and pugmarks near the body indicated she was killed by a tiger.
