Activist pushes Jairam ministry into action on Tigress death

NTCA Secretary Rajesh Gopal released a status report on the death of a tigress inside Bandhavgarh reserve after visiting the park today. The report is a result of unrelenting pressure built up by local activists lead by Bhopal based Shehla Masood who was the first one to bring out facts related to killing of the tiger. Based on facts gathered from the visit the report clearly states the cause of death to be a vehicle hit and one that probably belongs to a local govt official. The report has suggested the state govt order a CBI enquiry into the killing.
