70 camera traps to continue monitoring movements of wildlife
The Forest department is preparing to stop combing for the elusive tiger that triggered panic among the public under the four divisions of the Mananthavady Municipality in Wayanad district.
The big cat is believed to have killed 17 domestic animals and attacked two animals in the Kurukkanmoola area under the North Wayanad Forest Division in a couple of weeks.
The Forest department had launched the comprehensive combing operation with the support of 200 frontline Forest staff, two trained elephants, three drones and a team of veterinarians for the predator on December 10, but the animal is yet to be spotted.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
