The sighting of three tigers reportedly in a residential area at Chappamala, a hilly region in the Kottiyoor forest range, has kept people and the Forest department on their toes.
A resident, Kanchana, reportedly claimed to have seen two big and a small tiger. According to her, one of the tigers crossed the Chappamala 37th mile road and reached the farm of a private person.
However, the Forest department is yet to acknowledge that what the locals had seen were tigers. However, they have found pugmarks in the region, and they believe it could be either a leopard or tiger, which might be around 10 years old.
