Tiger Attacks Man In Kumaram Bheem Asifabad District

Kumaram Bheem Asifabad district witnessed its second tiger attack in three days, leaving a farmer critically injured.

The incident occurred today at Dubbagudem in the Sirpur (T) mandal when Suresh, the farmer, was attacked by a tiger while working in his field early in the morning.

Nearby residents raised an alarm, causing the tiger to flee.

Suresh was immediately rushed to a hospital for treatment.

This follows a fatal attack three days ago in the Kagaznagar mandal. Morley Lakshmi, a 21-year-old from Gannaram village, was mauled by a tiger while walking to a cotton field near Nazrul Nagar. The tiger dragged her by the neck, inflicting severe injuries. Lakshmi succumbed to her wounds on the way to the hospital.

Forest department officials have been placed on high alert following the series of tiger attacks. Search operations have been intensified to locate the tiger, with drones being deployed to assist in the effort.

Restrictions have also been imposed by authorities in several villages of the Kagaznagar mandal. Residents of Ezgam, Nazrul Nagar, Sitanagar, Anukada, Gannaram, Kadamba, Areguda, Babunagar and Chintaguda have been cautioned against venturing into fields or forest areas.

Authorities have also instructed the surrounding villages to prevent access to the attack sites, as there is a possibility of the tiger returning to these locations.

The recent series of tiger attacks has left residents in the area gripped by fear.
