Tigers In Goa

A Nigerian national was arrested on Sunday in a drug bust carried out jointly by the Narcotics Control Bureau and the Goa police in Anjuna in the northern part of the state, an official said.

Even as the issue of tiger killings was discussed in the Assembly on Wednesday, NCP MLA Churchill Alemao said tigers should be "punished" for eating cows when humans are punished for the same.

The death of a tigress and her three cubs in Goa in the last few days has set alarm bells ringing among the tiger conservation community. The carcass of the first tiger was found on Sunday in Goa's Mahadayi wildlife sanctuary. Three men were on Wednesday by Goa Police after the fourth carcass was found. The centre has also set up a two-member team ...

In the third such incident in the four days since January 5, the carcass of a tiger was found in the Mahadayi Wildlife Sanctuary in Goa on Wednesday, a senior Forest official said.

Forest officials are investigating the death of a Royal Bengal tiger in Goa's Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary. The carcass was found in a village on Sunday, state Chief Wildlife Warden Santosh Kumar said.
