West Bengal Coordinates with Assam to Retrieve Tigress That Strayed from Buxa Reserve
A three-year-old tigress, relocated from Bihar's Valmiki Tiger Reserve to West Bengal's Buxa Tiger Reserve on October 2 as part of Bengal's first tiger relocation project, has crossed into Assam's Raimona National Park. The tigress has been tracked near human settlements, where it killed domesticated pigs, prompting West Bengal officials to consider tranquilising and returning it. Forest ministers from both states are coordinating efforts, with West Bengal's Manoj Oraon planning to visit Assam to finalize the plan. The National Tiger Conservation Authority is involved, and the tigress remains healthy while exploring the area.
