Mananthavady : KCYM Mananthavady diocese demanded to take steps that ensured the safety of the people instead of temporary measures against tiger attacks in the area. During the last 15 days, nearly 13 pets in areas like Payyampally, Kurukkanmoola and Cherur were caught and killed by tigers. Even though the police camped and set up cages and cameras, the tiger had escaped.

KCYM Mananthavady Diocese President Jishin Mundakkadathil told that instead of the temporary measures, there should be measures to ensure public peace. The authorities should not close their eyes towards the problems and anxieties of the farmers who are working hard till dawn.
Many locals have lost thier sleep for several days due to the fear of being attacked by the tiger. The KCYM Mananthavady Diocesan Committee warned that action would be taken against steps which do not protect the life and property of beings.

Diocesan Committee members Gralia Anna Alex Vettukattil, Fr. Augustine Chirakkathottathil, Geo James Machukuzhiyil, Tesin Thomas Vayalil, Justin Luckose Neelamparambil, Abhinand George Kochumalayil, Jijina Jose Karuthedath, Sr. Saly Anns CMC had spoken and put forward their suggestions.
