A tiger cub was found dead in the core area of Madhya Pradesh's Kanha reserve, bringing the state's tiger death toll to 22 since January. The cub, aged between one to one-and-a-half years, was discovered in the Sargi region of the Kanha Tiger Reserve. Officials are investigating the cause of death, with initial indications suggesting starvation.
A sub-adult tiger was found electrocuted and dumped in a well in Seoni district, Madhya Pradesh. The farmer who owns the well has been arrested. This incident brings the total number of tiger deaths in the state to 25 since January, raising concerns about wildlife protection.
Officials say the move represents the species' return after nearly a century, filling a long-standing ecological void. The animals, transported under strict veterinary supervision in specially designed crates, will initially be kept in soft-release enclosures to help them adapt before being fully released into the wild.
