A tiger from the Sariska National Park in Rajasthan entered the forest area of Jhabua in Haryana on Saturday.

An alert was sounded across all villages near the border.

The tiger attacked five persons in Kairthal village, Rajasthan.

State forest authorities confirmed its presence after pugmarks were found in the area late Saturday evening.

Special team from Rajasthan is trailing it. “Five forest teams are camping in Jabhua in Rewari. The forest is dense so it is difficult to tranquillise and trap the big cat. We have alerted the villagers about the tiger. Meanwhile, we are waiting for the tiger to prey on any animal in the area,” said Sariska range forest officer Sitaram Meena while speaking to The Tribune.

The tiger attacked five people in Rajasthan. This is the second incident in the past one year in Haryana.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
