The roar of tigers will again be heard in Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan after almost seven years on Saturday when two cubs will be introduced in the sanctuary.

The much-awaited relocation of tigers from the Ranthambore National Park to the Sariska Tiger Reserve, considered the first of its kind, has taken place this 28 June

Under the joint aegis of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) and the state forest department.

The Rs 1.5-crore project to reintroduce the big cats at the 881.11 square kilometre Sariska reserve after it lost all its tigers to poaching has been much debated with experts differing on whether this was a wise move.

Two cubs — a male and female in Ranthambore Tiger Park have been radio-collared and shifted to Sariska.
