Sariska Tiger Reserve get two Tiger

Two tigers will be relocated from the Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan's Sawai Madhopur district to Sariska Tiger Reserve in Alwar, an official said. "A team of experts visited Sariska recently to oversee the arrangements for relocating the tigers," the senior official of the Rajasthan forest department told IANS. He said the tigers - a male and a female - will be relocated "sometime next week". The official said it was quite likely that the tiger would be brought first and the tigress after a few days. Three tigers have already been relocated to Sariska. The first male tiger was airlifted in June 2008, which was followed by the relocation of two more female tigers. The Sariska Tiger Reserve in Alwar district, over 110 km from here, is India's most famous tiger sanctuary and is at the centre of the Project Tiger conservation programme.
