Rumours of tiger sightings and pugmarks in fields across villages in Jangaon, Yadadri, Rajapet and Alair have kept forest officials on high alert. Villagers continue to report pugmarks, prompting officials to deploy teams widely to ease public fear.
Tiger trackers and forest officials are closely monitoring the movement of a tiger in Turkapally mandal, Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, to prevent human-animal conflict. Tension rose in Thirumalapuram village after a villager reported hearing the tiger growl near his field.
The Forest Department has intensified safety measures following reports of tiger movement in several districts. Expert committees, trap cages, trackers, thermal drones and camera traps have been deployed, while villagers have been advised to restrict movement in sensitive areas.
