TD leader raises concern over tiger's prowl

Vijayawada:  Telugu Desam state president K. Atchannaidu demanded the assistance of forest officials to protect people's lives and property from the tiger by capturing it.

In a recent letter to the chief conservator of forests in Visakhapatnam, the TD leader stated that it had come to his attention that a tiger had been moving in the forest areas under the jurisdiction of Itchapuram and Tekkali Assembly constituencies in Srikakulam district in the last 28 days, causing panic among the people and posing a threat to their lives.

He asked the CCF to take the necessary precautions to protect people and property, particularly livestock, from the tiger.
