West Bengal plans to relocate two more tigers from Bihar and Assam to Buxa Tiger Reserve in Alipurduar district by the end of November to strengthen its big cat population. Forest Minister Manoj Oraon confirmed the development, adding that the recently relocated tigress remains within the reserve's core area and is being tracked through a radio collar. The tigress, brought from Bihar's Valmiki Tiger Reserve on October 2, had strayed into Assam before being recaptured on November 4. It escaped again from a 2.2-hectare enclosure by digging beneath the fencing. The minister said necessary measures were being taken under NTCA supervision. (PC: PTI)
