Assam: Tiger cub trapped in bamboo grove in Gohpur's Gamiri area

A tiger cub was found trapped inside a bamboo grove in the Miri Pathar area of Gamiri, under the Soomajila region of Gohpur. 

The cub was spotted squeezed between clumps of bamboo on the farm of a local resident named Moni Das.

Following the submersion of the Sixth Addition area of Kaziranga National Park due to flooding, wildlife from the sanctuary have started moving into nearby human-inhabited areas. 

Regions like Gamiri, Mailbazar, Batiyamari, and Roumari have now become temporary roaming grounds for animals such as deer, wild boars, and tigers.
