Fear has gripped the Sunabeda region after a Royal Bengal Tiger was captured on a digital camera, raising concerns among local residents. The sighting has triggered panic in the area, while the Forest Department is worried that people continue to enter the forest for their daily activities despite the potential threat.

According to reports, the carcass of a buffalo was found near Bhalu Pahad, close to the Sunabeda National Highway. A HAL security guard first spotted the carcass. The Forest Department subsequently confirmed that the buffalo had been killed in a tiger attack.

Following the incident, concerns over tiger movement in the region have intensified, with residents fearing possible encounters with the big cat.

Search operations are underway to locate the tiger and track its movement. Forest officials are keeping a close watch on the area to prevent any untoward incident.

Residents Advised to Avoid Entering Forests

Meanwhile, ensuring public awareness and safety has become a major challenge for the Forest Department, as many residents regularly visit nearby forests for their daily needs.

The Forest Range Officer has urged people not to panic but to remain alert and follow safety precautions. Residents have been particularly advised to avoid unnecessary visits to forest areas during the evening hours.

The camera footage showing the tiger, along with the discovery of the dead buffalo, has heightened fear among local communities.
