Officials from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka forest department have decided to jointly monitor the movement of a tiger which killed three cows at Seshan Nagar in Talavadi.
Farm lands are located 1 km away from the Karnataka reserve forest area and 6 km from the reserve forest area in Talavadi. In the last two weeks, three cows were killed by the tiger during day time causing panic among the farmers and the public. Pug marks confirmed the animal as tiger and officials from Talavadi Range Office in Hasanur division coming under Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve (STR) placed camera traps to monitor its movement.
Officials said that bushes in the barren patta lands had turned out to be safe hideouts for the tiger.
