Jaipur, Mar 12 (PTI) Two more tigers would be shifted from Ranthambhore National Park (RNP) to Sariska sanctuary in Alwar district as soon as they are located, Rajasthan Assembly was informed today.
Replying to a question, State Forest and Environment Minister Ramlal Jat said a helicopter would be used to locate two tigers T-37 and T-47 which had strayed from RNP range and were roaming in adjoining districts of Karauli and Bharatpur forests.
So far two tigresses and one tiger were shifted from RNP to Sariska, and two more would be shifted as soon these were located, he said.
The tiger population had disappeared in Sariska in 2005.
BJP MLA Gajendrasingh Kheenvsar alleged that the tigers were not shifted due to pressure from NGOs and tourism lobbies, which drew a sharp response from Congress members.
