Gonikoppal: The operation by the Forest Department personnel, who have stayed put at Devarakaadu and Kottageri in Kodagu to capture the elusive tiger which had killed livestock of villagers and escaped by a whisker from being trapped, continued yesterday also, with morning mist hampering the operation due to low visibility.
The Forest personnel had placed a cage in the estate of Mapangada Sajjan Devaiah in Kottageri and had also tied a bait inside the cage which was killed by the tiger. The tiger had returned the next day early morning and had devoured a portion of the bait. But the Forest personnel could not make out the presence of the tiger due to mist which had hampered the visibility.
