Karnataka Halts Tiger Safaris After Third Fatal Attack

In southern India, tigers in the Bandipur and Nagarhole forest areas have been getting too close to villages.

Sadly, three people have been killed by tigers in the last month.

Because of this, the state's Forest Minister has stopped all the jeep rides and hiking tours in these popular forest parks.

This is a safety measure to prevent more people from getting hurt.

Forest rangers are trying hard to find and catch the tigers that are causing these problems.

Some people think too many tourists make tigers unafraid of humans, while others believe older tigers pushed out by younger ones are the main issue.

Villagers are also concerned about getting paid fairly and on time when their cattle are killed by these animals.
