Mysuru district on alert: Residents disturbed by startling tiger sightings on CCTV

Synopsis

In a disconcerting turn of events, Mysuru district finds itself on edge as reports of a roaming tiger create fear and anxiety among residents. The unsettling situation came to light when CCTV footage from the TVS factory in Kadakola, Nanjangudu road, captured the elusive big cat's movements, sending shockwaves through the local community.    

Employees of the TVS factory were notably perturbed upon learning about the tiger's presence, as the creature was caught on CCTV roaming near the facility during the night. This revelation has raised concerns about the safety of both employees and residents in the vicinity.

The tiger, which has been reportedly wandering around Kadakola for a week, has triggered heightened apprehension in the surrounding villages. Despite efforts by the forest department, including the deployment of traps and the preservation of bones for bait, the tiger has evaded capture, prolonging the state of unease.
