Woman Killed in Tiger Attack in Maharashtra's Gondia District

A 65-year-old woman, Shobha Haridas Rahate, was killed by a tiger in Maharashtra's Gondia district while collecting tendu leaves. The attack occurred in the Gothangaon forest range, prompting a Rapid Response Team to set up camera traps and a cage to capture the animal. Immediate compensation of Rs 50,000 was provided to her family. This incident follows another tiger attack the previous day, which injured a 47-year-old woman. Officials note that forest activities like collecting mahua flowers and tendu leaves increase human-wildlife encounters.
