Rajasthan to get its 3rd tiger reserve, India its 39th

NTCa has given in principal approval to to the project Darrah National Park, some 50 kms from Kota reports TOI. Tigers from Ranthambore are slated to be relocated to Darrrah. The sanctuary also called Rajiv Gandhi National Park consists of three sanctuaries Darrah, Chambal and Jaswant sagar.
With tigers being killed across the country at a rapid pace, one way of saving the population is by bringing new areas under forest cover and repopulating them with tigers to offset the pressure on the existing few parks. An initiative like Darrah is certainly a good start.

Tigers will now roar at Darrah
