BARANG: The foot marks of a tigress which was roaming around the Chandaka-Dampada sanctuary allegedly appeared on Sunday afternoon at Nandankanan zoo area. The tigress has a cub with her, forest officials said. The people are in panicky after getting news about the presence of the wild animals in their locality.

After seeing the foot marks in the zoo area, the zoo authorities have started checking the foot mark whether it is correct or not. After confirmation, they would try to capture the wild animal, the zoo officials said.

Notably, the forest department officials on December 28 last year had confirmed that the tigress and its child were freely roaming around the Chandaka-Dampada sanctuary on the outskirts of the city.

On December 24, according to the report, the tigress and its child had come to drink water from Khiragadia pond, near Talabasta village. After the scientific inquiry into the foot mark of the tigress and her child, the forest officials had proved that the rumour was true.
