Search for tiger intensified in Wayanad village

Animal believed to have moved to wildlife sanctuary
Forest officials have intensified operations to capture the tiger, which is believed to have killed as many as 10 domestic animals in a fortnight at Kurukkanmoola under the Begur forest range of the North Wayanad Forest Division.
The animal reportedly killed one more goat owned by Annakkutty of Parekkattil at Padamala near Kurukkanmoola in the early hours of Saturday.
Though Forest officials, led by North Wayanad Forest Divisional Officer Ramesh Bishnoi and Forest veterinary surgeon Arun Zachariah, conducted a combing operation in the area from the early hours, it was in vain. They also used an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to track the animal, but it also did not bear fruit owing to the dense canopy of trees in the area.
