The death of a white tigress named Riddhi at Van Vihar National Park was attributed to organ failure due to old age, marking a significant loss as only 15 tigers remain in the park. In a tragic incident in Maharashtra's Jhinjeria village, a tiger killed 65-year-old Nita Buddhu Kumbhare, leading to villagers attacking forest department personnel, injuring several. The forest department has since provided immediate compensation to Kumbhare's family and is working to capture the tiger. Similarly, in Bihar's Valmiki Tiger Reserve, a 60-year-old man, Indradeo Mahto, was killed by a tiger while grazing goats, with his body found after the tiger dragged him into the forest. Forest officials are now using drones to track the tiger involved in Mahto's attack. Both incidents highlight ongoing human-wildlife conflicts as communities grapple with the dangers posed by tigers venturing into populated areas.
