The Forest Department (FD), which is monitoring the activity of tigress T1's cubs, also has set up two cages to trap them. Wildlife activists have been raising questions about forest officials monitoring the activity of the cubs, even as sources from the forest department said the decision to set trap cages was taken after it was found that both cubs were healthy and had settled in the Pandharkawda area.

Sources from FD said, "We have been tracking the movement of the cubs using camera traps and through direct and indirect evidence gathered from the field. We have the images and videos of the cubs in the camera traps and both seem fine." For the past three weeks, FD officials have been tracking the movement of the cubs and had given them time to settle down. There are no hurried attempts made to trap them as they could be disturbed.
