Nagpur: Human-animal conflicts in the Vidarbha region have blazed once more.
Close on the heel of at least six human killings in Chandrapur Regency this month, one more person was persecuted by tigers in the range of Goregaon forests under the Gondia Forest Division.
The victim has been identified as Punaji Mohan Meshram (61), a resident of Bhadada.
He has gone to collect food for the head of livestock when he was attacked.
Sub-adult tigers separated from his mother T-14 and moved to find new areas.
Previously, sub-adult tigers had hurt one person from Janatola.
According to forest sources, the victim was warned not to explore the forest after the presence of the tiger but the meshram did not pay attention and was attacked after walking more than 300 meters in the forest.
