An 8-year-old boy was killed in a tiger attack in Bajura on Sunday, raising concerns about human-wildlife conflict in the region.
The victim, Bijay Rawat from Dhuratola, Khaptad Chededaha Rural Municipality-3, was attacked near a cowshed about two kilometers from his home. According to local authorities, the tiger dragged him nearly 150 meters before leaving his body near a water source.
