No sighting of tigers at Palamau tiger reserve since February

Palamau Tiger Reserve in Jharkhand has not seen any tiger or found any evidence of it after February this year, the last formal big cat count at this habitat - six - made in September 2017 by Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, now seeming too good to be true. Baresarn range of the PTR last saw a tiger on camera this February, said its ranger Bhola Prasad. No tiger was trapped on camera, not any pugmark or any scat found after that, PTR officials admit. Also, the habitat's Tiger Protection Force (TPF) has no clue where the big cats could have gone.
