Key Points

  • A 13-year-old tiger P 111 died and was over 13-years-old and was suffering from kidney disease, which led to its death. The carcass of P-111 was found on the roadside on Panna Katni Road.
  • P-111, which was born in April 2009 was the first litter of his mother T-1, a tigress that was brought to Panna from Pench in 2009 under the 'Tiger Restoration Program' after big cats became extinct there.
  • Tigers had gone extinct before the year 2008 in Panna Tiger Reserve. The 'Tiger Restoration Program' was implemented in the PTR in 2008-09. It yielded results and the tiger population in PTR increased as of today more than 75 small and big tigers are present there.
  • A sub-adult tiger was also found dead in the forest of Akola buffer. The cub, P-234, which was around 10-months-old is said to have died in a territorial fight.

Additional Information

  •  A bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao, B R Gavai, and A S Bopanna has ruled that there can be no mining or factories within at least 1 km around wildlife sanctuaries and national parks.
    • If the existing ESZ (eco-sensitive zones) goes beyond the 1 km buffer zone or if any statutory instrument prescribes a higher limit, then such extended boundary shall prevail, Live Law quoted the Supreme Court as directing. 
    • Manufacturing and similar activities underway along these zones will go on only with the permission of the Chief Conservator of Forests, the court ruled.
