Kangal SI Sathish advised the farmers to not to go alone to their fields alone and asked them to inform to the forest officials for necessary action. Forest Section Officer Nagaiah, Beat Officer Soujanya along with local SI examined the pugmarks of the animal near Bommepally stage.

Ammagudem Sarpanch Kotesh and Kangal Sarpanch Sunitha requested the forest and police officials to take necessary action on war footing to keep the cheetah away from attacking villagers and cattle in their respective villages.
