Forest officials release a tigress in Sunderban | A six-year old tigress, which was trapped after it terrorised villagers over the last several weeks, was released on Wednesday by forest officials in the Dhulibhashani forest of Sunderban delta. The six-year
old is among the two Royal Bengal Tigresses, which were trapped in neighbouring
forest areas in the Sunderban Delta area, and were later caged in the Panchmakhani
and Pirkhali forests. The tigress was trapped in July, when she had entered a
village in Kumirmari and killed some cattle. She has been fitted with a microchip
for future identification. "Both the tigresses are in good health and in the morning
we gave them something to eat and they really relished the food as you have seen
they are in good health," said N.C. Bahuguna, Director of Sunderban Biosphere
Reserve. The tigresses underwent a medical check-up at Sudhanyakhali and were
declared fit to be released into the forest.
