There is rising concern amongst villagers that the tiger may very well be a person eater.
Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh mentioned on July 9 that the presence of a Royal Bengal tiger within the mountainous forests of the State was a risk, based mostly on preliminary investigation into cattle attacks by officers.
He mentioned, “On Tuesday evening three cows belonging to three tribal villagers of Kuilong village in Tamenglong district bordering Nagaland were attacked and killed. The small tribal village in Tamei sub-division of the district has just 37 houses and a small population. From the pugmarks which measured seven inches, it is deduced that the big cat could be a Royal Bengal tiger. The owners, Namsihou Panmei, Suipingbou Abonmai and Jailakiu will be compensated. The government will extend all possible help to the district administration in tracking down the tiger.”
There is rising concern amongst villagers that the tiger may very well be a person eater. No villager is venturing outside after darkish.
District officers mentioned, final yr 4 cows had been killed and partially devoured in a forest close to the village. This may very well be the identical tiger, the villagers mentioned.
