The Story in Brief
A 35-year-old man was attacked by a tiger in the core area of Kanha Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh on Saturday morning, Freepressjournal.in reports. The victim, identified as Rajkumar from Malkhedi village, had gone to the core area adjacent to his field around 8.30 am when the tiger pounced on him.
He suffered injuries on his face and both hands but managed to fight the animal off. Forest officials rescued him and rushed him to a nearby hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable. A hunt has been launched to trace the tiger, and villagers have been advised to stay away from the core area.
The Indian Opinion
Every tiger attack brings fresh calls for relocating villages out of reserve cores. But villagers have lived alongside these forests for generations, often relying on fields that border park boundaries. The real gap here is early warning systems and quick-response protocols, not displacement. Kanha's officials acted fast this time, but the question remains: will the state invest in real-time monitoring and community awareness before another encounter, or only react after the injury?
