Tiger Kills Child

A tiger mauled a nine-year-old girl to death in Madhya Pradesh's Shahdol district, a forest department official said on Wednesday.

Union Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi on Wednesday termed West Bengal as the only place in the country where illegal killing of wild animals is "allowed and encouraged", prompting an angry reaction from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who demanded an apology from the minister for "insulting adivasis" (tribals).
