West Bengal's tiger relocation programme has suffered another setback after Dooars Rani, a 3-year-old tigress, escaped from Buxa Tiger Reserve for the second time. The tigress dug a tunnel beneath the concrete foundation of a 2.2-hectare acclimatisation enclosure and escaped on November 9. Her radio collar is working, and forest officials are tracking her movements. Officials believe she has crossed the Bala river and is moving towards Assam. Around 60 forest guards and 3 elephants have been deployed to locate her. She was brought back from Assam on November 3 after her first escape in October.
