Rs 10 Lakh Radio-Collared Tiger Dies in Nauradehi, Management Under Fire

• A 3-year-old tiger, fitted with a Rs 10 lakh radio collar, died in Veerangana Rani Durgavati Tiger Reserve, 28 days after its arrival.
• Wildlife expert Ajay Dubey filed a complaint, questioning the management's negligence and demanding accountability.
• Despite the radio collar sending alerts for no movement, the tiger's death went unnoticed for 48 hours, indicating a monitoring failure.
• The death is attributed to a territorial fight, raising concerns about the safety of other tigers and the effectiveness of ground staff.
• Deputy Director Rajnish Singh stated the tiger was ambushed and often remained stationary, but the 48-hour delay in discovery is still under scrutiny.
