Along with this, information about the death of Tiger in Panarwa in 1943-44 is in the record.
After independence, in 1952 a letter was written to a hunter of that time by a forest department to kill a man-eating Tiger. After this tigers were reported from time to time. In 1982, a tiger wandered and came to the settlement. Then most recently in 1993, a Tiger was found dead in Forest of Dungarpur.
