Mysuru: In a deeply disturbing case of official negligence, the Forest Department has admitted to serious lapses that led to the poisoning deaths of five tigers — an adult tigress and her four cubs — inside the M.M. Hills Wildlife Sanctuary’s Hoogyan Range.
As a result, the Deputy Conservator of Forests (DCF), Assistant Conservator of Forests (ACF), and the Deputy Range Forest Officer (DRFO) have been sent on compulsory leave pending a full investigation.
