Aligarh, Feb 9 (PTI) Faced with mounting public anger over attacks by tigers in areas adjoining the Jim Corbett National Park, authorities have placed a cage inside the forest to trap the man-eaters and sought the help of people in tackling the problem.
A woman was recently killed and three youths were injured in two separate incidents of tiger attacks in the sanctuary area, officials said.
After protesting villagers blocked roads in the past few days demanding adequate safety measures, park authorities sought to mollify them and conceded to their demands by placing a cage inside the forest to trap the man-eaters.
"We have put in place a crisis management plan and two teams of forest rangers are now patrolling roads passing through the park to prevent any further attacks," Deputy Director of the Park, Kabi Dayal, told PTI.
