People of Koodallur and Kallurkunnu villages of Wayanad district in Kerala heaved a sigh of relief on December 18 (Monday) afternoon after an elusive tiger that was giving them sleepless nights for over a week was captured by the Forest department personnel.
It took 10 days of effort for the Forest department to cage the tiger that is suspected to have killed a farmer at Koodallur on December 8, 2023. The animal also reportedly killed a cow and many fowls at a poultry farm.
Local residents had expressed their resentment and staged roadblocks in protest against the alleged lethargy of forest authorities in capturing the tiger.
