Tiger Kills Farmer in Chandrapur A 58-year-old farmer, Haridas Kubde, was killed in a tiger attack near his farmland in Minthur village of Nagbhid taluka. His mutilated remains were discovered on Sunday morning after an overnight search operation. Kubde had left his home on Saturday morning to collect mahua flowers near his field, which was located close to the Mindala forest under the Nagbhid range. When he failed to return, villagers initiated a search, though efforts were delayed due to darkness and the presence of wild animals. A joint search by the forest department and local residents, conducted early Sunday, led to the discovery of Kubde’s partially eaten remains near a stream adjacent to his farmland. Preliminary findings suggest the attack was carried out by a tiger. The incident has raised concerns about human-wildlife conflict in the region. Forest officials are currently assessing the situation and have urged villagers to remain cautious. The Nagbhid range, known for its dense forest cover, has seen several such incidents in recent years, prompting discussions about the need for better wildlife management and safety measures for local communities. Kubde’s family expressed shock and grief over the tragedy. His wife and children, who were unaware of his whereabouts until the search began, are now grappling with the loss. Local authorities have assured the community that efforts are underway to prevent further incidents and to provide support to affected families. The attack highlights the ongoing challenges of balancing agricultural activities with wildlife conservation in areas like Chandrapur, where forests and farmland overlap.#tiger #haridas_kubde #minthur_village #nagbhid_taluka #nagbhid_range
