This is the second such translocation of massive cat within the state—final month, a tigress had been equally moved. Five large cats from Jim Corbett are to be moved to Rajaji, a transfer aimed toward tiger inhabitants administration.
J S Suhag, chief wildlife warden, mentioned the male tiger was tranquilised and radio-collared Friday and relocated Saturday.
