West Bengal forest minister Manoj Oraon confirmed that two additional tigers will be transferred to Buxa Tiger Reserve from the states of Bihar and Assam before the month ends. The relocation is part of the state's effort to bolster the tiger population in the reserve.
The announcement follows ongoing monitoring of a radio‑collared tigress that was brought to Buxa from Bihar's Valmiki Tiger Reserve on October 2. Officials are closely tracking her movements within the core forest areas of the reserve.
