Thrissur: The Forest Department has set up a trap to capture a tiger that entered a residential area in Chirangara, Thrissur. It is placed where the tiger was last spotted, with a goat tied inside as bait.

The cage used for the trap was brought from Kothamangalam to Kodakara the previous day. To track the tiger's movements, a drone-assisted search will continue on Saturday. In addition, the forest department has installed five surveillance cameras in the Mangalassery and Vazhichal wards to monitor the situation.

Residents are now demanding immediate action to capture the animal as quickly as possible.
