Udhagamandalam: At Madras observations of the High Court that the Ministry of Forestry should not kill the tiger that caused problems in nilgiris, Shekar Kumar Niraj, principal of school principals and wardrobe warden heads, said there was no intention to kill tigers from the first day of search operations when starting in the range Devarshola in the Gudalur Division on September 25.
“Even when the hunting order was released on October 1 after the tiger killed a tribal man, the order was specific about capturing or calming tigers.
We clarified this in court today.
We stand with our initial plan to capture the tiger,” he said, as he added that The Ministry of Forestry has exhibited its ability to capture troublesome wild animals such as in the case of Rivaldo, a wild elephant.
When he heard pills on Tuesday, the court asked the state forest department not to kill tigers because it might not be a male eater.
Meanwhile, the search team has a day without results on Tuesday, the eleventh day is combing operations.
The team found the killed and half-devoured forest buffalo in the Mannadiar Forest area located between the Range of Singara and Masinagudi in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) buffer zone.
“We did not find any animals attacked by tigers for the past four days since it killed a tribal man near Hamlet Kurumbarpadi in the range of singara.
We did not know whether the tiger killed the buffalo.
But the Pugmark was found in the location and we were sure that it was.
It has taken part of the carcass, “said Niraj.
“This might help us catch tigers.” According to the instructions of Niraj, ‘Machan’ (tree house) was established close to the location where the half-edible buffalo carcass was found.
“A team consisting of forest officials and veterinarians will look for tigers from a tree house.
If the tiger returns to eat the remaining carcass, it can be won and arrested,” Niraj said.
The search team has found Pugmark from other tigers on site.
They believe two tigers are more roaming in the area.
There is no intention to kill tigers from day 1, the top forest official said
