Tiger Spotted at Residential Places Near Vadasserikkara, Ranni

A rumor has spread regarding the spotting of a Tiger in a residential area near Vadasserikkara in Ranni. The tiger was spotted on Monday at an isolated estate in Vavolikandom  Kalashakkuzhy colony near Kumblathamon and the time was around 11:00 PM. A local person named Suresh spotted the tiger at the estate while he was walking through the nearby road and he saw the tiger at a distance of around 10 meters.

Suresh got frightened after spotting the tiger and shouted for help while the tiger disappeared to a nearby cemetery. By this time people gathered at the spot and informed Vadasserikkar Forest office and also Malayalappuzha police station. The estate was filled with tall shrubs and plants and searching the tiger at night became difficult. The search attempt was made but was not able to find the tiger.



Forces from Vadasserikkara and Thannithode forest offices and members from Ranni RRT also made it to the spot and searched for the tiger. But they were not able to find any trails of the tiger. Two months ago, a tiger was spotted over here and the forest department also confirmed the spotting of the tiger. Since this place has a lot of domestic animals such as goats and dogs, the tiger is expected to be there and an attack at any time is highly anticipated.

The officials have warned the residents to be alert and also to avoid wandering out during the night. The local residents are now living in fear after this news and they have decided to install a tiger trap if they once again spots the tiger in this area. People also have expressed their dissent over the negligence of the police department as they did not reach the place even after informing.
