A brutal tiger attack led to the heartbreaking death of Lata Devi, a 35-year-old woman in Uttarakhand's Pauri district. Devi was tending to her goats when the tiger struck, leaving villagers helpless to save her.
Forest officials, led by Divisional Forest Officer Akash Gangwar, managed to trap the 11-year-old female tiger, which struggled to hunt due to its deteriorating dental condition. The forest department assured locals of plans to increase safety measures in the affected areas.
Despite earlier warnings about the tiger's presence, residents accused the forest department of delayed action. Previous incidents in the district indicate a growing concern about wildlife encounters, pressuring authorities to address the community's safety anxieties.
