Headline: ‘Tiger attacks 8 year old at Rajiv Gandhi National Park.’
Dateline: Monday, 10th September 2018, New Delhi
Leadline: In a shocking incident, an eight year old girl was attacked by a tiger at the Rajiv Gandhi National Park in New Delhi.
Body: As per eye witnesses, the little girl was leaning against the fences of the tiger enclosure when the fence cracked and she slipped through them inside where the tiger was nearby. It seemed the tiger itself was startled by this and ended up attacking the girl. Luckily before any serious harm could be done, the authorities stepped in and managed to subdue the tiger. Although the authorities reacted quickly, the safety of visitors to the Rajiv Gandhi National Park was called into question as the number of untoward incidents at the park has been going up in the past few years. The injured girl was taken to the National Medical Hospital nearby where doctor’s are treating her right now.
Conclusion: This unfortunate incident brought back memories of a similar attack that took place almost a year back which was also blamed at the negligence of the park authorities. Park management has been requested by concerned visitors and parents to step up safety and security measures to avoid such accidents in the future.
