Guwahati: After 4 days in zoo, Tiger released in Nameri National Park

The adult male Royal Bengal tiger, which was tranquilised at Peacock Island and brought to the Assam state zoo last Tuesday, was released by the zoo authority in Nameri National Park and Tiger Reserve, around 216 km from Guwahati, on Sunday morning. Ashwini Kumar DFO said, “The decision to release it in Nameri was taken after considering that the park has fewer tiger population. It was ferried safely to the park from Guwahati.”
