There's good news for wildlife lovers, as a patrolling team of the forest department looking for the cubs of tigress T1, also known as Avni, spotted them early on Thursday morning. The patrolling team and some villagers from Vihirgaon had a direct sighting of both the cubs in Pandharkawda. But there is also sad news, as three other tiger cubs have died after they were hit by a train, near Chandrapur.

Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (APCCF), Wildlife, Sunil Limaye said, "At around 5.30 am on Thursday our patrolling team spotted both the cubs of T1 a few hundred metres from Vihirgaon, which is positive news. A strategy is being drawn to capture them safely."
