Food prices surge across India and tiger terror in Boudh were listed as key items in the Kanak News bulletin for that morning. According to the report, staple food items such as rice, wheat, pulses, and edible oils have seen sharp increases in retail prices across major urban and rural markets in India over the past fortnight, driven by disrupted supply chains, rising fuel costs, and delayed monsoon patterns affecting kharif sowing. In Odisha, particularly in districts like Boudh, Kandhamal, and Sambalpur, villagers have reported sightings of a tiger near forest fringes, leading to heightened fear among communities dependent on forest produce and livestock grazing. Local residents described hearing growls at night and finding pugmarks near agricultural fields, prompting the forest department to issue advisories against venturing into isolated areas after dusk.\n The compilation aims to deliver top developments in one place for viewers across Odisha. Officials from the Ministry of Consumer Affairs acknowledged the price pressures during a press briefing in New Delhi, stating that measures such as releasing buffer stocks of wheat and rice, monitoring hoarding, and coordinating with state governments are being implemented to stabilize markets. Meanwhile, the Odisha Forest Department confirmed increased patrols in Boudh division and said camera traps have been deployed to track the tiger’s movement, emphasizing that tranquilization and relocation would be considered only if the animal poses a direct threat to human life.
