After monitoring its condition, experts tranquilised the tiger and lifted it from the canal. The big cat has been shifted to the Gorewada Rescue Centre in Nagpur for treatment.
Forest officials are examining the cause of injury and the animal’s health status. They say rising tiger movement around Gosikhurd indicates increasing dispersal into human-dominated areas.
