A team of the forest department staff is on the move to trace the wild tigress in the Kisco forest area in Jharkhand’s Lohardaga district.

The team is constantly monitoring and people have been forbidden from going to the forest if not absolutely necessary, it is learnt.

The forest department set up this team following an investigation based on information provided by some villagers and also the reports of the forest workers. 

Subsequently, the team of Palamu Tiger Reserve has confirmed the presence of a tigress after studying the footprints, reports news 18.
