Advertising“On Sunday, two forest staffers had gone to fix cameras at a spot for monitoring of two recently radio-collared Tipeshwar tigers. An ailing tigress carrying a nylon wire noose around her neck for more than a year died during a rescue operation near Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary in Yavatmal district on Sunday. T4, aged around 4.5 years, had not been seen for the past ten months in the area – on the fringes of Tipeshwar. But the tigress had died by that time,” Panchbai said..
