An investigation has been launched following the discovery of five tiger carcasses in the Male Mahadeshwara Hills, underscoring significant lapses in wildlife protection.
The Forest Department has suspended three officials, including the Deputy Conservator of Forests, amid accusations of negligence. The problem is compounded by delayed wages, impacting patrol efficacy.
