Relocated Tigress Dooars Rani Captured in Assam, Returned to West Bengal
A three-year-old tigress named Dooars Rani, relocated from Bihar to West Bengal's Buxa Tiger Reserve, was captured in Assam's Kokrajhar district after traveling nearly 100 km. Joint forest teams from West Bengal and Assam, supported by local authorities and the National Tiger Conservation Authority, used elephants, excavators, and tranquiliser guns to safely corner and tranquilise the tigress. The operation aimed to protect both the animal and nearby human settlements. The tigress is healthy and is being returned to Buxa, with ongoing monitoring planned.
