There are nets in water front in Sunderbans not to allow tigers into the waters.

Sunderbans has the highest number of royal bengal tiger population. These tigers if they swim across the rivers can enter the adjoining villages and has killed goats, cows in the past. So the forestry department has created nets across the waters so that they stay only in the dense forests and not venture into the adjoining villages.

That's good thinking by the government. We have seen lots of animals getting killed by the tigers when they enter in the villages, also they kill human beings and in the retaliation they are also killed by the mob so it's better to restrict them in their habitat.

Thanks Sanjeevji yes I agree with you. The forestry department takes care that no one enters the mangrove forests without permission and take away forest produce like honey in Sunderbans.

Some of my friends live near the Sundarbans. They tell me every year some villagers are killed by tigers. But most often it happens when they venture into the forest to collect honey or fish near the river side.

Thanks Xavier. You are correct. There are patrolling forest department steamers which visit the mangrove forests but if villagers enter the forests without the forest officials permission they cannot be protected from tigers.
