Tiger Kills Seven Cattle in Siddipet in One Morning as Search Intensifies
Officials escalate the search with drones alongside a night-time cutoff to field power.
Overview
- The tiger moved through Ghanpur in Nangunoor mandal and Arepally in Koheda mandal, killing two and five cattle respectively.
- Forest, tracker and rescue teams flew drones over hillocks near the Singaraya Project, but dense vegetation prevented locating the animal.
- Power to agricultural fields is being suspended at night to reduce electrocution risk, and farmers are advised to avoid night fieldwork.
- Residents in villages around the Singaraya Project have been placed on alert, and cattle are being shifted to safer locations.
- Officials attribute roughly a dozen livestock kills over about 20 days across Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, Jangaon and Siddipet to the same tiger.
