People are living in the grip of fear following movement of a tiger in the agriculture fields of certain villages in both Utnoor and Jainoor mandals on Monday.
A tiger was sighted while crossing a road near Laltekdi village in Utnoor mandal on Sunday night, panicking motorists. It was suspected to be heading towards Jainoor mandal. It earlier injured an ox belonging to one Kumra Anand Rao on the outskirts of Rajulaguda village in Utnoor mandal. It slipped into the forests when Anand raised an alarm.
However, villagers from Utnoor and Jainoor were on the edge following movement of the tiger in the farms and forests abutting their habitations.
