A Royal Bengal Tiger travelled from Chhattisgarh to Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctuary after spending at least six months in the Udanti-Sitanadi reserve. The Chhattisgarh forest department and the divisional forest officer of the Hirakud wildlife division stated that stripe patterns matched camera-trap photographs from 2025. Officials suspected the tiger originally dispersed from Maharashtra, possibly the Tadoba-Andhari reserve, though the National Tiger Conservation Authority has not yet shared its assessment on the animal’s birth place and history. Debrigarh Tiger Reserve authorities sought additional inputs from the National Tiger Conservation Authority to trace the big cat’s long-distance journey. Forest authorities continued analysing camera-trap data to reconstruct the dispersal route, while wildlife officers intensified surveillance measures, strengthened river patrols, and monitored the sanctuary’s western boundary to ensure the tiger’s safety.
