Altercation with forest personnel near Payyampally over search operation, Forest Minister calls for public support
Local residents have become restive with the Forest department’s efforts to capture the elusive tiger in Wayanad yet to succeed.
Despite intensive efforts, the tiger that is keeping Kurukkanmoola residents on their toes remained elusive for the 17th day on Friday.
Some villagers sighted the animal at Puthiyedam, near Payyampally, in the Mananthavady municipal limits on Thursday night and launched a search operation in vain. An altercation ensued between forest officials and villagers when the former reached the spot around 7.30 a.m.
