The ailing sole tiger cub at Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) is becoming healthier by the day, indicating that the efforts of the park officials to save her are bearing fruit. The cub has been meticulously monitored by SGNP employees after her siblings died days after they were delivered on March 25. 

Dr Nikhil Bangar, SGNP’s veterinary officer, who has been keeping an eye on the cub along with Range Forest Officer Vijay Barabde and animal keeper, told mid-day, “The cub is being given formula on a regular basis and her weight has increased steadily in the past 10 to 15 days.”
