Relentless efforts to tranquillise and capture MDT23 pay off
The Hindu
From the start, officials said they would capture the tiger alive
The 22-day effort to safely tranquillise and capture tiger MDT23 from the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) began in another forest division entirely — Gudalur.
On September 24, a 56-year-old man, who was grazing cattle in Devan Estate, which borders the tiger reserve, was mauled to death by the tiger. A search operation quickly ensued to tranquillise the animal, with teams of forest staff and veterinarians deployed.
Despite attempts by the Forest Department, the tiger crossed into another estate and then doubled back towards its core territory in MTR. While crossing back into the tiger reserve, on October 1, another grazer, M. Basuvan, 82, was mauled by the tiger and killed.
