Bantala: The chain of violent incidents in Satkosia sanctuary following the death of a woman and a farmer in alleged attacks by the Royal Bengal Tigress Sundari has led to the formation of three teams to tranquilise the big cat.
Three teams comprising professor Chandramani Nath of the Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Sarat Sahu from the Nandankanan Zoological Park, animal experts DK Kanbai and Piyush Soren from the Similipal sanctuary and veterinarian Dr Kishore Chandra Sahu from Satkosia are currently camping at Kumuri village in Kothabhuin panchayat to capture the wild animal. Two teams from Wildlife Institute of India are also accompanying them in the operation. Earlier Tuesday, forest officials have twice tried to tranquilise the tigress but in vain.
