Tiger Kills Farmer in Maharashtra's Beed District Amid Drought Conditions
A 38- to 45-year-old farmer, Devidas Manik Takle, was killed by a tiger in Beed district's Ashti tehsil while collecting fodder for cattle amid drought conditions. The tiger, identified as Ramling, had traveled about 500 km from Yavatmal and was spotted in the area since mid-October. Villagers found drag marks and blood leading to the body. The forest department has increased surveillance and urged locals to avoid forested areas to prevent further attacks, as four farmers have died in similar incidents over three years.
