With more tigers, attacks are also up

There are several human settlements in the buffer zones of the Banke and Bardiya national parks where tigers have easy access to domestic animals and people. Two people suffered attacks on February 19 and 20.

Wakil Gaddi, a resident of Raptisonari Rural Municipality-7 in Banke district, survived an attack by a tiger a few days ago. The critically injured Gaddi, who is in his early thirties, is recuperating at Bheri Hospital, Nepalgunj.
