Bhubaneswar: The three-year-old tigress ‘Zeenat,’ relocated from Maharashtra to Odisha’s Similipal Tiger Reserve, has been spotted roaming in the forests of neighboring Jharkhand. The information was shared by Baripada RCCF (Regional Chief Conservator of Forests) Prakash Chand Gogineni on Monday.
Speaking to the media, Gogineni confirmed that the tigress’s movements are under close surveillance. “Our Similipal Tiger Reserve extends into the forests of Jharkhand, and now the tigress is moving through this area into Jharkhand. Our team is actively monitoring her,” he said.
