Politicians, hoteliers, guides - all are worried about the safety of the big cat. Panna has @ notorious reputation - in the last six years tigers have virtually been wiped-out A recent report by Wild Life Institute said that there was only one male tiger left - if at all “it's a very critical situation in the park . the tiger was last seen on December 11. After that there has been no sign of him or his pug marks,” says KauhalRai. Tourist Guide, Panna. Raghu Chundavat, Wildlife Expert. Panna, puts forth, "Over 40 tigers have vanished from Panna. An inquiry should be conducted into where they have gone in the last few years, how they have died.” But the state government is determined on relocation, One tigress from Bandahvgarh National Park has already found home there - Kanha is the latest source. ns of the presence of a male tiger. In case there is a problem, we wil! itely find @ solution.” assures S.S.Pabala, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Madhya Pradesh. Many allege that the pregnant tigress is being sent as a cover up to show that an existing male mated within days of tigress reaching the park. Why were there no attempts to radio collar the only surviving male tiger to ensure his safety and movements? Whete have all the other tigers gone? How did they go missing? For now, these are questions with hardly any answers. Jt of4
