Mysuru: Villages of Hundipura and Chowdahalli and surrounding villages including Moorkalgudda on the fringes of Bandipur Tiger Reserve have been cordoned off and declared out-of-bounds for villagers, cattle-grazers, safari tourists and the public following a massive operation to capture the elusive tiger which is said to have killed two men in the span of one month.
The latest killing was of 50-year-old Shivalingappa who was mauled by the feline at Chowdahalli coming under Kundkere range of the Tiger Reserve. A few days back, farmer Shivamadaiah was killed in the same place and his half-eaten body was found amidst thick foliage.
