JAIPUR: With reports of 13 big cats officially missing from Ranthambore Tiger reserve (RTR) in the past three years, the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has constituted a committee comprising DIG, NTCA Shivpal Singh and wildlife crime control bureau, joint director, HV Girishato, to probe into the matter.
The apex tiger conservation body of the country swung into action after recent data from the state forest department revealed that there is no evidence of 13 tigers in RTR over the past three years — January 2019 to January 2022.
