CHITWAN: Officials of the Chitwan National Park have taken under control a man-eater tiger from the Kumroj buffer zone community forest in the eastern Chitwan.

Park’s Information Officer Ganesh Prasad Tiwari said the tiger was caged after it killed a person on May 1. The officials were making efforts to cage the tiger for a long but this time the tiger was taken under control by mobilizing additional forces. The tiger of around 10 years is caged at the premises of the Sauraha-based National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC) office.

Tiwari shared that further decisions would be taken after observing the man-eater tiger for some days.

According to Tiwari, as high as 12 persons lost their lives in the past year from tigers’ attacks in the national park and forest areas.
