Tiger movement causes a scare

14-12-2025 12:00:00 AM

The presence of a migratory tiger in the area around the coal mines of SCCL, Mancherial, has created a major alert situation. The tiger has been sighted around the RK-8 coal mines, with pug marks available in the opencast areas. In a move to ensure safety for both the human population and the tiger, officials have embarked on safety initiatives. Fifty camera traps have been put along the path that the tiger is taking. Miners have been directed to move as groups. 

Joint teams were formed, and officials made themselves conspicuous with lights on the routes the tiger takes. Barricades were also set up to control vehicle speeds. The aim is to facilitate a smooth journey for the tiger and avoid harming a single human being. Authorities are now trying to divert the tiger back into the dense forests.
