JAIPUR: After the country's third tiger reintroduction debacle at Darrah range of Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve (MHTR), the state forest department and the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) have decided to stick to the original plan to release big cats at the reserve's Seljar range.
The NTCA on Monday gave nod to relocate the big cats to the Seljar Range with certain conditions. Conservator of forest and MHTR field director Sedu Ram Yadav said, "An approval has been received to relocate a male tiger and a tigress in Seljar range. The prey base augmentation programme will begin soon, following which tigers will be shifted."
