Thick foliage and broken roads - perennial issues during every monsoon – have come in the way of tiger’s translocation in Rajaji Tiger Reserve. But, we cannot take a chance to tranquillise them during monsoon as they can easily elope in the thick foliage. We would be able to do it once monsoon bids farewell,” Sanatan Sonkar, director Rajaji, told Hindustan Times. Following radio-collaring of two tigresses, the officers will also identify two pairs of tigers from Corbett landscape for translocation. After Sariska and Panna, Rajaji is the third project of the country where tiger translocation would be done to ensure healthy breeding of the big cat.
