A tragic incident occurred in India's northeastern state of Assam, where a Royal Bengal tiger was killed by a mob of villagers. The event took place in the Golaghat district, highlighting the ongoing issue of human-animal conflict in the region.
According to forest officials, the tiger had been killing livestock in the area, which led to growing fear and anger among the local residents. In response, a large group of people, estimated to be around a thousand, gathered and attacked the tiger with machetes and other sharp weapons.
This incident marks the third tiger killing reported in Assam this year, raising concerns about the conservation of these endangered animals. While tiger populations in Assam have increased over the years due to conservation efforts, the shrinking of their natural habitat has led to more frequent encounters with humans.
