A tigress from Buxa Tiger Reserve in West Bengal has entered Assam, prompting authorities to plan her capture and relocation.
Concerns have been raised about the safety of the tigress, named 'Doars Rani', after she crossed into Assam. Officials believe the noise from celebratory fireworks, particularly during upcoming festivals, could disturb her. To prevent any harm to the animal or local residents, the West Bengal Forest Department has decided to capture 'Doars Rani' and return her to Buxa Tiger Reserve.
