The Forest Department has placed a cage at a tea estate in Vazhaithottam near Valparai to trap a leopard which has been frequently entering the village at night. The Department had received several complaints from residents of Vazhaithottam, mostly estate workers, about the movement of a leopard in the village at night. Based on directions from S. Arockiaraj Xavier, Deputy Field Director of the Anamalai Tiger Reserve and District Forest Officer of Pollachi Forest Division, 12 camera traps were placed at various places in the village a few days ago to monitor the leopard’s movement as per the protocols of the National Tiger Conservation Authority.More Related News
