"The female tiger has been brought from Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR). The translocation project to supplement the existing tiger population in Similipal Tiger Reserve (STR) is a significant step towards conservation of big cats in Odisha," said Forest and Environment minister Ganesh Ram Singhkhuntia.

After being tranquillised on Saturday, the big cat from TATR travelled around 900 km in a special transport vehicle to reach Similipal. Two teams comprising officials and staff of Similipal and members of rapid response team escorted the vehicle.
