Missing tiger moves to UP-Rajasthan border

LUCKNOW: The tiger, which had attacked four persons at Fatiha village in Mathura on Monday, has now moved to Berri village on the Uttar Pradesh-Rajasthan border. Though the animal was not seen on Tuesday, the Forest officials came to this conclusion after finding pugmarks in Berri, near Fatiha village. The search operation has now shifted to Berri, said R P Bharti, Chief Conservator of Forest of Agra zone. A team from Rajasthan’s Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, led by director R S Shekhawat, has arrived to help UP forest officials. A team from Bharatpur is already camping there. “There are around 150 forest officials involved in the operation. Now, we have 11 tranquiliser guns,” said Bharti. Officials believe the tiger had strayed out of Ranthambore — about 150 km from Mathura — and lost its way.
