Doars Rani, Bengal’s first relocated tigress who went missing, captured in Assam

On October 2, a three-year-old tigress named Dooars Rani was relocated from Bihar's Valmiki Tiger Reserve to West Bengal's Buxa Tiger Reserve as part of the State's first tiger relocation project. However, on October 25, the tigress ventured into Assam's Raimona National Park, prompting her capture on November 3. Forest Minister Manoj Oraon reported that the tigress was tranquilized, caged, and returned to Buxa, where she was found to be safe and healthy.

The Ministry has decided to release three more tigers in Buxa over the next two months, alongside boosting tourism.
