Three-Year-Old Relocated Tigress Captured in Assam After Cross-State Operation
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, with support from the National Tiger Conservation Authority, used elephants, earth-moving machinery, nets, and tranquiliser guns in a multi-hour operation. The tigress had moved close to human settlements, prompting coordinated efforts to safely capture and return her to Buxa. Both state governments cooperated throughout the operation.
