BHOPAL: A 23-year-old school teacher was killed by a tiger in a village near Pench Tiger Reserve of Seoni district in Madhya Pradesh.
Manoj Dhurve was reportedly attacked by the tiger on Tuesday evening and his half-eaten body was later recovered from the thick forests.
Dhurve owns a small farm close to Mudiareeth village adjacent to the Khawasa buffer zone of Pench reserve. He also works as a guest teacher at a primary school in the same village. Around 11am he went in the forest area to collect mushrooms.
When he did not return till late, villagers started searching for him. At 8.30pm his slippers were recovered. Pug marks and evidence of dragging led villagers to his body.
Tiger had eaten much of it. Only face and legs were left intact, said sources. Matter was informed to officials of Khawasa range, who reached the spot and initiated search for tiger.
Villagers fear many tigers have moved out of the protected area following growth in their population and they are targeting humans and domestic animals. Officials assured villagers that the tiger would be rescued and shifted to a safe location away from the population.
They also said that financial assistance would be provided to the dependent family members after investigating into reasons behind his death. Rescue operation was hampered due to insistent rain in the region.
Noteworthy that death of a school teacher following tiger attack in Khitoli area of Bandhavgarh National Park in Katni district in 2014, had triggered violent protests from villagers who went on a rampage setting the forest range office and nine houses ablaze. The mob also attacked forest personnel, including local forest range officer while keeping some of them hostage, besides policemen and local journalists. Two motorized vessels and a dozen vehicles owned by the department were also set on fire, said officials.
博帕尔: 在中央邦Seoni区Pench tiger保护区附近的一个村庄，一名23岁的教师被老虎咬死。
据报道，周二晚上，Manoj Dhurve被老虎袭击，他的遗体被老虎吃掉一半，事后在茂密的森林中被发现。
Dhurve有一个小农场，靠近Mudiareeth村，毗邻Khawasa Pench保护区的缓冲地带。他还在村里小学担任客座教师。上午11点左右，他去森林里采蘑菇。
发现很晚他都未回家，村民们开始寻找。晚上8:30，村民发现他的拖鞋。村民们沿着拖拽的痕迹，来到他的尸体旁。
老虎吃掉了大半遗体。消息人士称，只有脸部和腿部完好无损。此事通报给了森林官员，他们到达事发地点，开始搜寻老虎。
村民们担心，随着老虎数量的增长，许多老虎已经离开了保护区，开始袭击人类和家畜。官员们向村民们保证，将把老虎转移到远离人群的安全地点。
他们还表示，在调查了死亡原因后，将向死者家属提供经济援助。由于该地区持续降雨，搜寻行动受阻。
2014年，在卡蒂尼区班德哈夫加尔国家公园的希托利地区，一名教师在被老虎袭击后身亡，引发了村民们的暴力抗议，他们肆意纵火，烧毁了森林官员的办公室和9栋房屋。暴民还袭击了森林工作人员，并将其中一些森林官员扣为人质。官员称，十多辆消防局的车辆也被点燃。
