JAIPUR: Having completed the first phase of relocation of tigers to Sariska, it is testing time for forest officials. For the past three days, they are not getting any signal from the radio collar of a male tiger.
‘‘Whenever a tiger comes to a new surrounding it strays to distant areas in order to survey the place. The tiger may have gone to a place (valley) within the territory from where we are not receiving any signal,’’ a forest officer said.
He said, ‘‘In valleys signal from the radio collar fails to reach the satellite and till the tiger remains in that location, it is difficult to trace it. Same is the case with this tiger which was relocated to Sariska from Ranthambore about two months back.
We have not received any signal for the last three days. But the moment it reaches a plateau it will be easily traced.’’
