NEW
DELHI – Indian authorities conducted a manhunt operation to capture the wild
tiger that killed three people this month.
Reports
said that the last victim of this animal is a woman who works in a tea
plantation in Tamil Nadu state. The incident happened just last week.
Meanwhile,
authorities forced to close 45 schools in Nilgris district even resorts in Doddabetta
hill for civilian’s safety.
About
150 forest officials and police officers so far are assigned to capture the
animal. They use their elephant and sniffer dogs to make it easier for them to hunt
the tiger.
District
forest officer Thiru Sugirtharaj Koil Pilla said there were only occasional sightings
of the tiger in the tea garden making it difficult for them to capture it.
However,
conservationists blame some villages in Tamil Nadu for encroaching the natural
habitat of tigers. They believe there are several tigers before in the area but
never harmed humans.
Records
show that about 1,700 tigers live in India but the number declines due to
poaching and international smuggling networks.
