One Yellanna of the village sighted the tiger and three cubs moving in the area. Pippalkoti and Thamsi-K villagers were panic-stricken by the tigers’ moving to Thamsi- K along river Penganga.

On the other hand, a tiger entered the cattle shed and attacked a cow that was tied to a pole in Kukuda village in Bejur mandal on Sunday night. Villages informed forest officials that they had sighted the tiger in Babasagar in Komaram Bheem  Asifabad district.
