Lioness Manya, aged 10, died at Tyavarekoppa Tiger and Lion Safari near Shivamogga on Monday. The animal had suffered injuries in a fight with another lion Yashwanth on January 26. With this, the number of lions at the place had come down to five.
The animal was under treatment for the last one week. It was brought to the safari park from Mysuru zoo. B. Mukund Chandra, Executive Director of the park, said the carcass was burnt after a post-mortem conducted by veterinarians. “As it is the animal listed in Schedule 1 of the Wildlife Protection Act, we followed all set procedures before the carcass was burnt. Senior officials were informed about the incident and all procedures have been video documented”, he said.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
