Hanagodu: An anti-snare operation is underway on the fringes of Nagarahole Tiger Reserve to remove snares laid by poachers to capture wild animals.

Hunting of wildlife using wire snares is one of the major threats to the wildlife and only recently, a tigress, famous as Nayanjikatte Female, fell victim to a snare that was laid to capture wild boars near the Taraka Dam in the Antharasanthe Range of Nagarahole on Nov. 12.
