Sariska likely to get more tigers soon

JAIPUR: The long wait for big cats at Sariska tiger reserve may soon come to an end, as the forest is likely to come alive with the roar of two more tigers that may be relocated to it in the near future.

Experts from the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun have arrived in the park and are studying the two tigers that had strayed outside the park.

The visit of the experts come close on the heels of a tiger from the park killing a 50-year-old man at the park on Sunday.

"Some experts from WII are visiting the park. However, they are not in connection with the killing but to help us in the identification and subsequent relocation of the straying tigers," said an official.

The Union forests ministry and the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) have recently granted the nod to the state government for the relocation of the two straying tigers from Ranthambore.
