It might take a Sherlock Holmes to unravel the mystery of the disappearance of tigers in Madhya Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh Panna National Park is facing breeding crisis with the disappearance of the lone tiger at the Tiger Reserve. The big cat has not been sighted for the last two months even after two tigresses were released in the park last month from the state's Bandhavgarh and Kana Tiger Reserves.
Neha Lalchandani | TNN New Delhi: We may finally get to know whether Panna tiger reserve has any of its own tigers left at all. The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) is sending a high-level multi-agency team on a fact-finding mission to Panna to determine if there are any tigers left in the reserve, and if so, how many.
The State forest department is planning a separate inquiry into the mysterious disappearance of tigers from Panna National Park. The union Government has already ordered a probe into the much-hyped issue, which has hogged the limelight for the last few months or so.
Over the last fortnight, the Madhya Pradesh government moved two tigresses from Bandhavgarh sanctuary to the Panna tiger reserve. Apparently, this was aimed at enhancing the "dwindling tiger population" by encouraging the big cats to mate. But wildlife experts rubbish the state government effort: they say the big question is whether there are any male tigers at all in Panna.

BHOPAL: Having successfully shifted two tigresses to the Panna Tiger Reserve recently, the Madhya Pradesh State Forest Department now plans to move a tiger there, too, as the sanctuary
NEW DELHI/ BHOPAL: In an operation which has broken most guidelines set down by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), a breeding tigress was airlifted from Kanha to Panna tiger reserve on Monday morning.
The state forest department is not a little amused by the hullaballoo over the planned shifting of a solitary tigress from the sprawling Kanha National Park to the Panna Tiger Reserve spread over the districts of Panna and Chhattarpur in Madhya Pradesh. The shifting became necessary to prop up the population of the big cat whose numbers had been reduced to a solitary male member.
