- Translocated tiger located after eight months; forest official attacked at Islampur
Forest officials heaved sigh of relief when a Royal Bengal tiger, captured in Sivasagar district after being embroiled in man-animal conflict and released at Manas National Park after being fitted with a radio collar about eight months ago, was located a couple of days back.
This was the first tiger in the state to have been fitted with a radio collar.
The radio collar was fitted by the International Fund for Animal Welfare-Wildlife Trust of India (IFAW-WTI).
