Tigers roar back to Manas

Tigers have made a roaring comeback in the Manas landscape which straddles both Assam's Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD) and Bhutan.
The second survey to monitor big cats across the Trans-boundary Manas Conservation Area (TraMCA), which covers Manas National Park (MNP) on the Indian side and the Royal Manas National Park (RMNP) in Bhutan, has thrown up 21 tigers -a heart-warming increase of 50% over the first survey in 2011-12 that had counted just 14 big cats in the Manas landscape.
