Tiger on prowl in Barabanki declared as man-eater
Serai-Bilari
village: Authorities in Uttar Pradesh declared a tiger
on prowl that strayed close to human habitat in Barabanki
district as man-eater after it killed a teenage boy. The
tiger on the prowl for the past one-month, had strayed
outside the forests of Pilibhit. Teams of wild life shooters
on four elephants were carrying a search operation to
shoot the animal around the Serai-Bilari village in the
district. The tiger was last spotted on Monday evening
in the village where the incident took place. Meanwhile,
the Home (Interior) Secretary of Uttar Pradesh told reporters
in Lucknow that the Chief Conservator of Forests and the
Chief Wildlife Warden have been granted permission to
go ahead in tackling this man-eater. "Khushi Ram Yadav
son of Mahesh Yadav was killed by a tiger. Declaring the
tiger as man eater, the administration has issued the
orders for further action," said Krishan Kumar, Home (Interior)
Secretary of Uttar Pradesh. Officials say that wild cats
often stray into villages near forestlands in search of
food and even attack people.
