Procedure to handle straying tigers spelt out [1]

The Ministry of Environment and Forests has laid down a Standard Operating Procedure to deal with emergencies arising out of straying of tigers into human habitations.

In a directive to all Heads of Forest Forces and Chief Wildlife Wardens in Tiger Range States, the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has asked them to translate the SOP in regional languages and circulate it widely among the field staff for guidance.
