If everything goes according to plan, soon the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) will have two more tigers. The Principal Chief Conservator Of Forest (PCCF) recently passed an order to give a tigress to SGNP, and there are also talks that the tiger RT1 that was trapped from Chandrapur on Tuesday, would be sent to SGNP. The Maharashtra Forest Department on Tuesday captured RT1 which was suspected of killing eight people in Chandrapur.

Talking to mid-day PCCF M K Rao said, "Our teams have been successful in trapping the tiger RT1 near Sindhi village in Rajura forest in Central Chanda in Chandrapur district on Tuesday. The tiger has been taken to the Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre. It was suspected of killing eight people and injuring three others in human-animal conflict incidents since January 2019. We have also given the go ahead to transfer a captive tigress to SGNP-Mumbai and in coming days, a team from SGNP will come to Nagpur to take her."
